  Yep, plus, if you actually do any offroading, you may be suprised to learn
that the suspension lift actually *reduces* ground clearance! Looks nice,
but that's about it. The way to go on the Gen II Daks appears to be
with a body lift to make clearance for larger tires. Simple and cheap.
:-) Otherwise, you could try a solid front axle swap and taller springs all
the way around.
