Yes. I wanted roughly 2" to level the truck. Even though the coil is 2" taller uncompressed, it may be stiffer. Bottom coil bucket to top the factory one sets compressed at roughly 8". If the Dakota spring has more load tension it may not compress 3 extra inches.

I guess it will be trial and error here with that.
I plan to trim the fenders a little for turning radius mainly, but if can be avoided not just hack them or waste time making large flares on stock control arms. I believe leveling the truck will prevent the top of the tire hitting the fenders, if not, a little off the top won't hurt.
