Body kit?

96daksport · Jun 19, 2008

I installed my Airdam on my truck:

Is there anything that I can get for the sides of the truck? Truck looks like it has a major overbite now.

Braces?

Looks pretty good dude :mullet:

I agree brace that bad boy

Oh BTW, where did you score that thing? :huh:

96daksport · Jun 19, 2008

I got it off a member here, Realdeal

I believe its a streetscene grille, and I think the dude with the 2 tone extended cab has the same one.

Very cool. Can you post more pictures?

As for your original question, I think the Mark III package is about the only set of side skirts there was. They are pretty rare...

Here are some MARK III pics with air damn. Looks ok but not really what I was going for.

96daksport · Jun 26, 2008

I wonder how that would look on a regular cab. Guess for now I will have to deal with the overbite.

92 kota, why do you called the dakota Mark III?

AllThingsEnd · Jun 26, 2008

I don't really like that body kit with that air dam. The height of the lip on the air dam is lower than the height of the lip on the side skirts.

I'm not sure what your asking exactly? I call it the Mark III because that it what the sideskirts are. They came from a Mark III truck.

Keep in mind my truck is raked bad in that pic. Only a 2/3 drop so the rear is way up there.

Speaking of which, whats the difference front to rear? If I want it level would it be 2/4? 2/5? I definately want the front down 2 inches and thats it, gotta keep it slightly driveable.

Do you have speedbump issues with that airdam and drop?

92kota · Jun 26, 2008

2/3 is definitely raked. After I fix my electrical issue. I will measure for you. I think 2/4 will be level. I have the adjustable hanger/shackle combo where I can drop 3/3.5/4. Current setting is 3 and I will be going to 4 soon.

96daksport · Jun 26, 2008

Pretty sweet. Hows that adjustable hanger work? It would be nice to be able to drop it to 4 inches and then jack the rear up when I gotta haul something if necessary.

92kota · Jun 26, 2008

All you do is slide out the bolt that goes through the leaf spring and on the new shackle or hanger (the one on the front bolt of the leaf spring) has 3 different sets of holes. So you put the bolt through the desired holes for whatever drop you want. It's not super easy to do but it gives you options. I.E. if you find out you are going to be carrying more weight around you can go back up to 3 if you are hitting the bump stomps on 4. I'll take pics this weekend if I have time.

Get creative and draw something up and see if you can make it yourself. Keep it fairly simple and you never know what you might come up with. The side benefit is that no one else will have one like yours. I have been toying with an idea for side skirts on mine but have`nt had the time to fool with it yet. Just a thought.
