Dakota C Arms/ ART AirBar

cut the front clip free from the rear part of the frame. Then slide it up the desired amount and weld and reinforce. This raise the motor and all of the suspension up while leaving the cab and bed in the same location. You have to drop your frame horns the same amount to line up the core support. Not hard if you take your time and make a jig to keep everything square.

thanks for the help

no prob. I've been looking at your profile at lot. My buddy has a dakota like your's that we've been working on forever. We had KW build a set of tube arms for his that will lay a 22. This was a while before all the shit went down. I'd love to see some more pics of your tilt bed setup.

yeah this is my first minitruck and i am learning as i go. i have learned alot in the past 4 yrs since i got in the scene. i ordered a set of uppers from aim (first mistake) and they told me they would give me the camber i needed to lay out on my new 20's. well they don't so now i am going to have to fab the tubulars they sent me(Shorten them) so that i can get the little more camber i need to clear the fenders. in about two days i hope to have it apart again and working on it so i will take photos of the tilt bed for you and email it to you.

thanks
