lowering my dakota
i want to lower my 95 dakota sport ext cab.3.9 v6 auto trans.that i just bought. the guy i bought it from was nice enough to have the dodgedealer put a new engine and trans in it. i got it for $1600.
Anyting i should know ? i don't want to heat or cut the springs. I am thinking about using2 inch drop spindels. are there different springs for the front end? As for the rear end i plan on using drop blocks. should i use 2 or 3 in blocks in the back and can or should i remove the short leaf at the bottom of the spring stack? or more? i would like a smother ride over hauling capacitiy. any help about doing this would be great. I have enough skills to do this myself just looking for help from others that know more about dakotas than i do thanks gary
PS i'm also selling the 58 desoto on the driveway $3500 runs good but better hurry
i'm having trouble posting pics here. don't know why they are small jpgs.

For the rear i would use shackle and hanger kit form Western Chassis or you can use Belltech.Your truck is going to ride like *** with drop blocks, I have 2 inch DJMsteel blocks on my dakota[:@].If you wanna have a nice ridespend more on doing the right way instead of the cheap way trust me.Check out this web site for the shackle and hanger kit
