Here is a clarification to both of you, Skyshark and Hahns... The 2wd Dakotas have downward facing shackles and the 4x4s have upward facing shackles. The 2wd Dakotas are axle over spring and the 4x4s are axle under spring. This means that putting longer shackles on a 2wd will lift it and putting blocks on it will lower it. Putting longer shackles on a 4x4 will lower it and putting blocks on will lift it.

He is not talking about swapping shackle mounts to the 4x4... the shackle and shackle mounts are two different peices. If you put a longer shackle on the 2wd it will lift the back of your truck. Just remember, qevans, you can't go too high because you won't be able to compensate much in the front. Also, you can't do blocks, because your axle is over the leaf spring... blocks will lower your truck.
