I have a copy of the magazine. The picture of the front suspension shows drop
down brackets (Painted purple) for the lower control arms. Those are part of
the trailmaster 4" suspension kit. You can't fit 36" tires under a Dakota
with just a body lift and cranked torsion bars. I have 31" with that setup
and I rub slightly, full turn, compressed. If you also look at the photo of
the passenger's side of the truck (upper right corner of the page), notice the
clearance of the tire to the rear of the wheel well. With that much of rim
offset, those tires are hitting the fenders when he pulls in and out of
driveways. It's a sharp street truck, but off road he's munching fenders.

I bought the issue and there was no mention of a suspension lift he had new
shocks in there along with the torsion bar adjustment. I dont see anything
that looks like a suspension lift in the pictures but I might now be looking
right I'll try to get the pics scanned in so you can take a look at it, they
show underneath in the front end in one of them.
