yup, all depends on how much you want to drop it.

You can get a few inches by relaxing the torsion bars up front, and using drop blocks in the rear

how much money you looking to spend?

HeavyD has a custom 4 link rear suspension. You are kind of limited with leaf springs and torsion bar setup, you're best bet is to find a 2wd D, they have coils up front, much more suitable for a drop. Prolly get away with 2 or 3 inches up front, and 3 inches or so in the rear with stock setup. don't know how the ride would be though

Not many guys here are into lowering, so you won't get many answers. however go to the 2nd gen dakota boards and look around there. Daks and D's share the same suspension setup

not if you want respect from anyone who actually knows anything about cars

sorry but that's the most honest answer you'll get. go find a 2wd durango/dakota and drop that, in the long run you'll save thousands at the least by doing that. you lower a 4x4 to a certain point & you'll have driveshaft/axle/transfer case/shifterissues, not to mention the 4wd will be essentially useless because you'll no longer have any ground clearance. plus your tow/payload ratings usually plummet when suspension is altered for looks.
