2005 Dodge Dakota 4.7L V8 4x4 with Jack My Ride's 6" suspension lift, Performance Accessories' 3" body lift, 35" BFG KM2 Mud tires, Fabtech Dirt Logic 2.5 front coilovers and 2.25 rear shocks. Custom front bumper by JMR, custom bedliner paint and headlights.

This video shows testing of JMR's suspension kit, which consists of:
-Front differential drop brackets
-Extended height steering knuckles
-Cross member drop brackets to drop lower control arms
-Fabtech Dirt Logic front coilovers (which we determined are slightly too long)
-Extended length DOT stainless steel brake lines
-4" blocks and extended U-bolts in the rear
-Fabtech Dirt Logic 2.25 non-resi rear shocks
-Front differential skid plate (though one was not used in this video
-Skid plate that spans between the cross member drop brackets (though one was not used in this video)
-All parts are laser CNC cut with lock-and-key design for consistency and strength
(The truck in the video is being tested with Fabtech Dirt Logic shocks in the rear and does not have either skid plates in place. )

Thanks for viewing our video, we know its better than our first video but still does not show the truck's full capability so there will be many more videos to come. This was a test which looked at the fitmet of the Fabtech coilovers and flexibility which they allowed at high and low speeds.
Our website is in the process of being built but should be up soon (our goal is before the end of 2011) with several package options for the 2005-2011 Dodge Dakotas (also Mitsubishi Raiders) as well as other companies' lifts for Dodge, Ford, Toyota, and Chevy/GMC. (www.JackMyRide.com)

  • @cking505...all you gain is clearance. That's all we claim this lift will give you. More clearance allows for larger tires, which also increases clearance. Physics and limitations of the components cause the kit to not increase suspension/wheel travel. We did not design this kit to increase travel. In order to gain travel, the kit shown will require long travel leaf springs in the rear, longer rear shocks, long travel coilovers in the front, high angle CVs, and ideally longer upper and lower co

  • sick dakota man. how is it power wise with the 35's?

  • @MrDirtbiker250r

    Thanks! Its pretty good still but it could use some more power. Top speed is about 100 MPH. After the lift kit is perfected we'll do a new exhaust, headers, CAI and all that to help it out.

see all

  • Badas truck

  • Very nice. Thanks for listening to the voice of the forgotten segment of Dakota owners. The lift is too much for me, but you folks are pioneering. Hats off to you all. Any plans for maybe half height lift? Like say 3-4" lift w/out body spacers.

  • @JackMyRideLLC right on! do you know what kind of gas mielage you get with the tires?
