I guess if one had the skills, they could fab up something, right? I dont know much about lowering, i know a bit about lifting because i am more into lifting my truck than lowering

"for the rear you can remove the helper spring, the smallest one."
15" Rims are available...
Plus: If you'd like to pay more for gas, my truck always rides lower when I'm hauling around heavy stuff, like my winter kit: cement blocks, tow straps, tire chains, kitty litter, xtra coat/gloves, candles...

problematic, plus with the sterno thingy I can melt snow to drink for water and/or cook stuff. Lower Michigan winters typically include minus10~20*F temps plus a blizzard or two. Think I'd rather sit in my truck if I'm stuck in that. Not a bad idea though. I did have to sit along side the road in Oregon during the summer for a couple hours once, when the K-Car we were in blew a head gasket, and chairs would have been nice. Luckily we were expecting to drive east to Michigan so we had plenty of food and water while we waited.
But I was just being silly as I wouldn't expect a Texan to need or want to carry candles around.

ive actually looked into this prior to deciding to long travel my dakota. actually i was looking to bag it because ive built previous bagged trucks that laid frame.
but for lowering, the only solution i had drawn up was upper and lower coilover adapters, and getting a shorter adjustable coilover with the same spring rate. axle flip the rear or drop shackles if the bed clearance allows it. taking out a leaf changes the rates and it will ride funky.

This is what Blown was going to use.This is for the front http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/low-dod-30-f.htm Here is an option for the rear, although if you still want to haul anything I wouldnt recommend them. http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/lea-dk87xx-3.htm

I wouldn't recommend anything from AIM Industries (airbagit and others) period. Do a few Google searches and you'll see what kind of reputation they have. You can get SpringTech lowering shackles that will drop the rear level with the front, I think I got mine from Canuck Motorsports after superdak recommended them.
