anyone have any ideas on how i can raise the frt end of my '00 Dakota QC 2wd
about 1 1/2"-2"? I've seen these 'spacer' things in JC Whitney and also
these rubber boots that go on the end of the coil springs. Just want to
raise the frt to level it out with the rear. Thanks.

..ll..

Look into the Daystar spacer kits. Put 1 on my 00 ram to level the front
end.
good luck to ya

Mechanic told me just yesterday that there is an adjustment for this on my
`93.
Is two bars that extend diagonally from near the transmission mount to the
front wheel area.
He said that to tighten the bolts that mount these bars in the rear wheel
lift the front possibly two inches to match the rear, as my front is lower
than the rear also.

I was under mine today to change out the tranny mount and got a better look
at what I was trying to describe above.
The bars are actually rods, they do not travel diagonally but rather front
to back, and they mount further back than the tranny mount.
Best I can figure from the Haynes book is that they are the torsion bars.
I do not know what they do, but the mechanic at the shop pointed to them
with me under the truck looking at the bolts, and said "you can lift your
front end by turning those bolts".

2wd has coil springs, 4 x 4 has torsion bars.
