Where can i find instructions/pictures on installing a 3 inch body lift on a 2001 dodge dakota

No. 1996 was the last of the first generation Dakotas. 2001 is a second generation model, and the body style is quite different.

Just tell parts place that you need 90" belt last three number's on belt part number's should end with 900 if you need one more inch last three number's should end with 910. good luck.

The Dakota's have alway had weak steering boxes and even some problems with the steering shaft. Look up Dodge Dakota websites. You need to find a good garage to inspect and repair your truck. There's so many problems with Dakota's and Durango's. The control arm bushings are probably bad too. Lift kits increase the strain on the suspension and steering. I would just sell it.

Look for screws in door little pop outs then take backside of mirror off then pull out at the bottom of the door then around the sides lift up and out then take vapor barrier off then you can seeeverything else/ Please rate my response thank you very much

you can crank the torsion bars for maybe an inch. or put a body lift on for 2-3" or combinatoin of both. or just cut the fenders

I am pretty sure that there is a lift kit available for a 95 dakota. There are a few ways to lift the body of the vehicle. I know a few people who have done it with hockey pucks. Drill holes through the center of the hockey pucks and place them in the body mounts. However, if you want buy a real lift kit, there are several sites that sell lift kits. I recently put a 9" suspension lift on a 1977 F-150. Most companys that make the kits offer more for newer vehicles.
I am not sure if I am allowed to post other websites, however, I did search for a lift for a 95 dakota and found one right away. There are three types of lifts that you can do. One is very limited but you can get the truck taller by putting bigger tires on it. Doing this will give you less clearance between the top of the tire and the fender well. There are also body lifts and suspension lifts. Body lifts are less expensive as there are less components to install. Suspension lifts are much more expensive but it is what I would reccomend for a larger lift. For a couple inches I would go with the body lift. For anything over 2 to 3 inches I would reccomend a suspension lift. If you can find a body lift kit for a 95 dakota 4x4, then you can use it on a 2 wheel drive as well.

it might be possible you will have to try the 4x4 websites to find it im not sure if you can put one on a 2wd
