I am doing replacement fenders on 96 Dakota sport made it a flatbed any advice on removal just got fenders today gonna start figuring how to disassemble and reassemble but need truck for work so I am all in once start never done this before never made a flatbed before either did it anyway ant vid suggestions?
@@mcxhalo Exactly, the 2wd drive models use a spring / shock while the 4wd models use the torsion bar / shock. V8 torsion bars are rated for 2k per bar and V6 are 1450 I think unless you have the heavy duty suspension and should have the 2k's.
This won't work well at all IF you're not on a level surface to start with! That's not easy, to find a perfectly level ground surface anyplace, not even on a driveway. Perhaps maybe in a repair shop but that too I won't assume even there it is perfectly level. Doing this task, I want to assure you that precision is important in having the lift be even on "both" sides.

You can also loosen the bolts on each end for up to 3 inches of drop if you wanted to lower your truck as well! Great vid!
Ive heard that it makes the ride "floaty" if you do that, know of any way to avoid that or lessen it at least?
Please make more 1st gen Kota instructional! Just got a 95 3.9L for my first truck!
Excellent video. Good instructions, good voice.

This apply to 2wd models too?
Why do you have to drop it every turn?
You DON'T! I've done this before. You are supposed to measure from 2 specific spots under the control arms also. AS per the manual.
Thanks
Will this work on a 2wd
2wd have coils in the front I think.
I have 96 dakota.... But I don't have that under my truck?
Differences between 2wd and 4wd maybe.

Duh, hello? Um, maybe that IS because it's not a 4x4, lmao.

This ruins your alignment FYI. After I put lift keys in my truck my toe was out 2 degrees. Plus it messes with everything else too.
That's what he said in the video
Het an alignment that will fix that
