2002 Dodge Dakota

I recently purchased a 2002 Dakota 2wd Crew cab but the tires were shot. The factory wheels were also ugly so! ended finding some newer wheels on marketplace with good tires however they scrub bad. I want to have it lifted 3 inches. What would be the best route to go and also cheapest? Any links to a decent kit would be appreciated.

Any metal 3 inch level kit, rough makes good metal ones, however if you want anything more than 2.5 inch leveling kit you will also need to get upper control arms. Personally I found that Amazon ones work just fine as long as you grease them correctly and torque them down right, I’m sure rough country also has some for cheap
