Good Topic ! (well, at least for us 4x4's)
My opinion is that I wish a few more aftermarket companies would make some
suspension lifts!
Suspension = lots of $$$
Body lift = low $$$

As far as I've seen, Trailmaster makes the only aftermarket suspension lift
for the Daks (at least for the old body) and that one is big $$$ for kit &
installation (something like $3000?). A few more body lift kits out there. I
might get the Cepek 2" bodylift this summer. Then I can at least beef the
tires up to 31's or 33's to get a little more ground clearence.

Unfortunately, this topic goes back to the usual Mopar fan beef. Nobody
wants to make quality aftermarket goods for Mopar products. It seems just
about anyone with a machine shop is in the Ford & Chevy parts aftermarket!

Anyone know of good kits (or tricks) to increase the suspension articulation
for the Dak 4x4's?
(other then buying a Jeep!)

Let's chat about the Pro's and Con's of a Suspension lift vs. a Body lift.
All opinions would be welcome!
