So i bought another dakota, same look just a 2004. I plan on lifting it asap. Does anyone know what i have to do to get the 3" rancho lift fit on a 2004?, supposably its only for a 2000-02. |

belive you have to down size the braking system in the front to the 2002 braking system unsure if the knuckels need to be changed or not probly be easier to yank the 02 knuckels and all and throw em on the 04. im not sure what else i looked into it but didnt wanna down grade braking if i was going larger just didnt make snece to me |

is the 04 an IFS and not a straight axle like the 2000-2002? I know my 05 was a IFS and only thing was a bady lift for it unless you have mega bucks to swap a straight axle over and everything assocciated with it and have some springs made. It will probly be a custom fab as I dont think there is anything out there yet for the newer models yet. |

lol wow! you guys obviously dont remember me or the last truck i built. im no morron and i know what ifs stands for. dakotas dont have sfa's on 04's. i have the rancho 3" lift that was discontinued like 10 yrs ago, it comes with drop spindles. thanks for the help but im clearly better off just figuring it out on my own. by the way, this is it...

I remember who you are, I wanted to buy the truck but didnt have the funds at the time... sorry you had to sell it, welcome back !!! No, I just didnt know if you had the IFS or not? I lost my truck due to injuries which I am still having surgeries for, but got a Ram now.... |

that sucks, sry to hear. ya i remembered who u were hence the reason i posted the pic to joggle ur memmory a bit. well this new truck is gonna have less lift, im thinkin the 3" rancho, 3" bl, and maybe tweek the torsion a bit. atleast if i get pulled over for being to high again ill be able to return the truck back to stock because i dont have to cut anything off for the rancho lift |

Is there any places still selling the Rancho lifts for 00-02? I have a 01 Quad Cab and thought I would have to go with a SAS if I wanted to add more lift. I already have a PA 3" BL and torsion crank. |

i found a guy selling it on dakotausa about 2 years ago and bought it off of him asap, even tho everyone was telling me it was a scam. just like the truckin suspension lift i put on my last truck being a piece of shit. i didnt get scammed and now everyone is begging me to sell them the rancho lift. haha not gonna happen... and the truckin lift wasnt a pos eigther, i only sold the truck cus i needed the money. the rancho lift is discontinued and u can only find them when someone rips it off their truck n resells it, no company is selling it anymore. lucky for me, the one i bought was never used. it was purchased new by the previous guy and it sat around for 7 yrs till he sold his truck. i had to search for the pdf install guide b/c that was the only thing missing. finally found it a few weeks back. all i need to do now is figure out how to adapt it to a 2004 and the lift will get installed. |

i ran into the. In 2003 they changed the steering knuckle From the regular D shaft (my understanding) to the 03+ square shaft with a bolt. The reason the 02 and down do not work for 03+ dakotas. Anything is possible to make work but i didnt think it was worth it to raise my dakota, but sometimes i wish i did mess with it. |
