- Today we go over everything we've put on our 2004 Dodge Dakota 4x4 4.7 V8. Most of these parts will work for all 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Dakotas. Lifts will be different for 4x2 trucks in the front. I'm very happy with all of these parts and accessories so far. There is a lot of different headlights, taillights, and lighting options for these trucks, led and standard bulb, but the ones we have on ours are what I believe to be some of the better cheap options available. Our 35 inch mud tires are fantastic, but let me know if you are curious about what sizes you can fit with different lifts or on stock configurations. All links for parts will be below. Enjoy!

Best truck to build
I do like em 👍
Nice build!
Appreciate the video , I have the same truck lifted already . Going to add the roof rack
Thanks man!
w build man
I have a 2001 crew cab 4x4 5.9l magnum it's a little more rare gas mileage sucks but love it
Great detail man 🙏🏼 cool affordable build, got some plans now for my dakota
Awesome man! I'm finishing another one today also lol
All you need is the light bar and the rack will look so nice
Yeah I pry better get one of those
Put dodge ram tow mirrors :) looks good
What are your approach, departure and breakover angels after your 2 inch frame lift and 3 inch body lift? I could see you approach and departure angels being significantly better since you raised the front and rear bumpers clearances 5 inches but the breakover wouldn't be as significant since you only raised the frame 2 inches. I am seriously thinking about doing an over land build on a dakota but building it on the club cab version since I don't need the extra doors.
The angle wouldn’t make it to much better with the body lift but what it will do is give more clearance for bigger tires which would help off-roading
Thanks for the great video packed with info and links! I ordered the headlights, taillights, and leaf springs blocks. If just doing the 2” torsion and 2” blocks, are my current shocks still ok? Thanks brother 👊🏼
Yes, factory shocks are fine for just 2" of lift 👍
Hey there we’re u able to put on the 35s with the 2” torsion and 2”blocks?
Never tried but I can assure you that you won't get 35's on with anything less than 5 inches of total lift. It's snug even with our body and suspension lift
Need advice to lift an 06 Raider 2WD please help.! Thanks
I have a extra 4.7 upgraded intake manifold
Nice build. Are the fenders larger on the 2004 than the 2006? When I measured mine, it seemed to fit 33's max.
Yes, the 1997-2004 have significantly larger fenders. Idk y they made the wells so much smaller on the newer ones
Where did you get your lift a lot of people say they don’t make any for the 2004
Supreme Suspensions makes the suspension lift, Performance Accessories makes the body lifts
Are you gonna put Led light bar in front of the rack?
I've thought about 4 round rally type lights
Bro, pretty much copied what you did and love my Dakota. I have a question did you install any wheel spacers ? For the running on super tight turns ?
I have no spacers, so I just don't crank it all the way when turning. Since I only get rubbing at full lock. I feel like more than half inch spacers would give you a ton of rubbing on the rear of the front fender wells
Cool thanks, love your channel and don’t stop. PS the IRON MANs 35s are perfect for grappling through mud. I’m in construction and the only that can get on the site with my Kota. Keep up the great work.👍🏼
Thanks man! Yeah we just got a foot of snow recently and I pulled out so many stuck cars with ease 👍
How do you raise back bumper?
The body lift kit comes with brackets to raise the front and rear bumpers
Do u have a diff drop on it?
I do not
You did suspension and body lift?
Yes
Don’t seem like there selling the 3” lift kit and more anyone can help me find them plz
I sold out Amazon and eBay of the body lift. You can still get it from the performance accessories website though
How high can you crank the stock keys with ruining the ball joint angles
I crank em til they don't go anymore. They stop at about 2 inches of lift
@@bikesandbangs okay cool just got my hands on an 04 quad cab . To crank up its clock wise right? Have you had any issues with ball joints or front end wear
@@benbrumbley181 well my ball joints weren't anything great when I got the truck, so I replaced them right after I did my lifts. I'm sure in theory they will wear out quicker but if you just crank the stock keys they should last quite a while
@@bikesandbangsokay cool thank you
My 99 durango has 5.9😊
I wish I had the 5.9! Great motors, rock solid
Worst truck to build
