2" front end lift - Dakota 2WD Quad Cab
From : norman perry
Q: since the whole object of an internal combustion engine is to draw a fuel-air mixture into the cylinders it seems reasonable that anything that helps move air into the system would bring some benefit especially at higher rpms. iow air is being pulled in by the descending cylinder. why not help by giving it a push it would be helpful if you could include some reasons why with your pronoucements. perhaps the fan could be vaccuum controlled so that it only kicked in when vacuum was below a certain level or by a switch in the cab that would allow driver control. daniel j. stern wrote on mon 14 jun 2004 jack wrote does anyone have an opinion on whether i can expect any improvement in power or gas mileage from an electric fan placed inside the flexible plastic duct that feeds air into the air filter housing this is a carbed engine jack *please*. youve been asking such good and sound questions...this clinker sounds like youve been getting too many whiffs of gasoline as you work on your carburetor. no you wont get any improvement in anything from any such electric fan. -stern .

2wd has coil springs 4 x 4 has torsion bars. i was under mine today to change out the tranny mount and got a better look at what i was trying to describe above. the bars are actually rods they do not travel diagonally but rather front to back and they mount further back than the tranny mount. best i can figure from the haynes book is that they are the torsion bars. i do not know what they do but the mechanic at the shop pointed to them with me under the truck looking at the bolts and said you can lift your front end by turning those bolts. mechanic told me just yesterday that there is an adjustment for this on my 93. is two bars that extend diagonally from near the transmission mount to the front wheel area. he said that to tighten the bolts that mount these bars in the rear wheel lift the front possibly two inches to match the rear as my front is lower than the rear also. anyone have any ideas on how i can raise the frt end of my 00 dakota qc 2wd about 1 1/2-2 ive seen these spacer things in jc whitney and also these rubber boots that go on the end of the coil springs. just want to raise the frt to level it out with the rear. thanks. --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.705 / virus database 461 - release date 6/12/2004 .
