I'm looking for somewhere to buy a 6'' suspension lift for my 1984 Dodge W100 318 4x4. I've looked in magizines and the internet and I can't find anything if anyone can suggest a website or a 4x4 shop in NC I would greatly appericate it!

SkyJacker doesnt make one? or Rancho? All you need are the Leaf springs and steel blocks plus your extended pitman arm and a different,(crossover steering would probably be better), tie rod. I just checked with SkyJacker and they make a 6" lift for your rig. Under 1,000 with Shocks. I would also include a dual stabilizer kit and a new Borgeson steering shaft so you can drive in "your" lane at 50+mph. Been there, done that with these trucks! Hope this helps Eddie. :rck:

I pieced one together over a couple of years on one truck with springs from National Tire and Wheel. If I remember right, the springs were Skyjacker, like threetwos said.

I thought SkyJacker still made the 69-91 Dodge 6" Lift kit, they have it listed for 869.00 in an older,(3 yrs. ago), issue of Petersons 4x4 Magazine.

Thanks guys I found one on Skyjacker.com its just rearched springs and it looks like 2'' blocks. It had two prices though 463 and 1,000 and something and I dont know which one I need. Gahhh I hate being a new guy to this stuff! I need some new tires and wheels bad every time I go mudding mud gets inbetween the seal of my tire to the wheel and it goes flat in like a week. Any body out here got any comments about Nitto Mud Grapplers? I think Im gonna get a set!

Both prices were for the same height lift? Maybe one kit contains the shocks, blocks, leaves, modified steering arm,(elongated), brake lines ect? and the other only part of the set? I would call them. Sometimes it's easier and cheaper to get everything you need in one kit. I would call them though and see what they say about it before you order.

Hey threetwo's I cant find the size I wan't have you seen a set of tires-33/11.50's 16/10-wheels Nitto Mud Grapplers advertised?

Hey threetwo's I cant find the size I wan't have you seen a set of tires-33/11.50's 16/10-wheels Nitto Mud Grapplers advertised? I use 33x12.5x15's on mine, 84DM, B.F, Goodrich A/T's. The Nitto's sure look tough though. I am sure someone makes the size you want but not in the Nitto brand? Are you sure you want the 11.5 instead of the 12.5 width?

Yea I'm sure it may not sound like much but 12.5 are pretty wide and I'm really worried about not having the power I wan't to spin 12.5's in the mud! Other wise I would get them.

Thanks for the comps! My neighbor had 18 beagles at one time, he was a Hunter,(Wabbit) and Breeder of Grand Prize winning Beagles. His Garage was filled with ribbons and trophies. It was cool, his beagles would escape, usually only one, and would "run" the other beagles in a circle around their little "compound" it was hilarious, they would all wail and bark and the one would run around that thing thirty or forty times,(I counted), it was also an amazing display of sheer, will and endurance! I love all dogs and assist part time at alocal shelter,(no kill).
