John,
Don't know about raising the 4x2. I would think that handling may suffer
a bit for not much benefit other than looks. IMHO, the other two major
contributors to the "look" of the 4x4 Dak are the wheel flares and
bigger wheels/tires. I got my 98 Dak with 235/70R15 tires and 15x8
wheels and added the factory flares. With these upgrades, I must say I'm
quite happy with the looks of my 4x2.
