I put a lift level kit on my 02 durango and slammed 33's on it. I think it was a 3 inch front and a 2 inch rear to get the level. It was heavy metal lifts brand i believe that came with torsion keys and drop shackles. The rear shackle bolts are always seized in the spring bushing so it was a nightmare for me to get them loose but after i got it done i like the look a lot. The tires fill up the fender wells nicely but i think my rear springs are a bit tired so i may have to change them out soon. They sit almost flat currently. When i seen how hard it was to break the torsion keys loose from the bars i just cranked the bolts down on the factory keys but i really want to get the lift keys in and see just how much i can get out of the front end as for lift. I honestly love the truck so much, the designers hit it out of the park. Mine doesnt have the running boards on it so the look is a little more dramatic but i mean for stock wheels they fit the truck so well that i cant really find many wheels i like better on the truck. Still looking for wheels but man its hard to beat those stocks. My truck has the 4.7L which is a phenomenal engine, very under rated. Unfortunately my baby was in a very paved neighborhood that was salted at even the thought of snow so the rust is pretty harsh on the rockers and a few places on the fender wells. I really want to get the rust fixed so i dont have to worry about it anymore. I want to keep this truck forever. Its got pretty decentish miles at like 136k but when the engine gives up i want to cummins swap it or something crazy and continue it as a daily.
@@gabetheformerforddriver5034 im going to keep mine as long as i can but im working towards a 2500 cummins pickup so i can haul whatever i need hauled. The 4.7 is a very reliable engine but fuel efficient they are not and a cummins is actually pretty conservative if you just leave them be. They make plenty of power and great torque, i can haul or tow anything id need too just fine and make 20+ mpg empty compared to probably 10 on a good day with my durango on 33's. Im working on mpg mods for it currently. So far i have true dual 2 1/4 pipe with a ram air intake so the engine can breathe better and it helped a touch with responsiveness but havent noticed much at the pump. I have pretty aggressive 285/75r16 venom power terra hunter X/T tires which are heavy so usual good mpg mods only make small dents for me. Any other ideas that arent as extensive as regearing the difs?
The alignment will change. Higher you go the more the wheels point towards each other. Also the steering bumps stops are further away that will make the front pull down when steering wheel is cranked to one side.
I had to adjust the camber. I added more negative camber by adjusting the upper control arms. Was just 2 slotted bolts. I believe they were 17mm, but can't remember.
