It uses steel front strut extensions that mount on top of the factory struts, with the hardware for the strut tops. ReadyLIFT's guide reuses the factory struts and lower bolts, so no shocks or struts are included, and the guide calls for an alignment afterward. 4WD Dakotas are not covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevels out the factory rake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost trucks sit lower in front from the factory.
