Bernd,
Did you install the lift kit yourself or have it done at a shop. When you said
the stock wheels will not work does that mean all stock wheels for the Dakota or
will the 15x8 that I got with my truck in the tire and handling package work. I
have been eyeing this lift kit for about a year and have asked them how much
they charge to install it but they never respond. I live about 40 minutes from
fabtech and would like them to install it if they could. One last question.
How much were the rims that you got. Thanks.
