Hi,

  I saw that Bernd mentioned he had a 2 inch body lift on a 2WD (also has a
3 inch suspension lift too I read). Which kit is this 2 inch body kit and
where can I get it? Do they make a 3 inch body lift kit for the Dakota
also? I want to get bigger tires under my truck and want to first try this
over changing a-arms and springs. Don't want to do spring spacers either.
I am looking to put a tire on in the range of 33 to 31 inches tall.
Maximum would be the BF Goodrich All Terrain LT 285/75R16 (32.9 inch tall),
if not the minimum would be the LT275/70R16 (31.3 inch tall). The current
tire is 255/65R16 which is 29 inches tall. Hope to do this with just the
body lift kit. Also, is there a formula for me to figure out what my
actual rear gears will be at when I go with the larger tires in sizes 33,
32, and 31? Don't want to put a tire on so large that it cuts it down past
a final 3.55, would like to stick around 3.7.

Thanks,
