There's nothing for the durango, you actually need to buy late model cheby silverado (99-02 i believe or somewhere in there) lowering shackles, the belltech 6400 series fit nicely and give a good lift, You will need a few washers tho, here's a pic:

i just really hate how the shackles hang down so far. anybody done the add a leaf? how is the ride after it? i assume firmer but i wont mind a little bit of a stiff ride plus a little extra support while towing.

I too have the T/C lift, which is currently (I believe) the only lift kit available for a Gen I rango/kota. I think I paid ~$1300 for the kit and another $1000 to have it installed (I had the money at the time and I was too busy with work). It certainly leaves much to be desired, but if you don’t want to throw on shackles and crank up the torsion bars, or lift the body, it’s about the only "easy" way to fit 33”+ tires.
An SAS with new leafs or coil-overs is definitely the way to go IF you are really good at suspension geometry and fabrication, or you have really deep pockets. Also, one BIG benefit of an SAS is that you get to dump the stock upper ball joints that have a reputation of breaking!
Let us know what you decide on, and send pics.

I installed a suspension lift on an IFS toy in an evening (into the night), I don't think the TC for the rango would be much more difficult. I can't imagine paying 1k for installation.

What are you doing with your nuts down by your tires dude!? :jester:
I agree...T/S lift+3" BL and you're running 33's no prob.
All I had on my Dak was a 3" BL and torsion bars raised almost all the way and I was running 33x12.5 Super Swampers with only minor trimming up front. :huh:

cause it was the smalles thing i had to compare at the moment, but yea +1 on the t/s lift and 3in body lift... BUT you can fit 33's with just t/s lift, im doing it right now, and i love the stance, it only rubs a VERY LITTLE, but im afraid, that if i do any wheeling it will rub alot

LOL, good shit.
Yea, if you're going to be under full articulation, you're gonna need to trim a hellava lot more to not rub.
