haha thx for comments and yes wat7secR/C said will all work...just a note is that the dakota spindles only work on 80 and up dodge trucks not the 72-79 trucks like mine and the only thing wrong with using it on the80's and later trucks is the ball joints i think they might be too short if i remember right and also to lower your truck you can go to aimind.com and buy tubular control arms that will lower the truck and are adjustable they have a lot of suspension parts for our trucks front and rear such as weld on or bolt on 4 link for airbags, control arms, coil springs, shacles and hangers, etc. but anyway thx again for the comments.. ohh and to lower my truck i just cut the springs temporarly and as long as you dont cut more than one coil it doesnt hurt the ride.. didnt on mine and i have never heard anyone complain bout the ride after one coil..and that lowers it 2" and also i have heard u can use 1 ton 80's dodge truck control arms cus the spring pockets are lower and it lowers it 3"

I'm not a fan of lowered trucks. But yours is FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It's not mopar, but my el camino is gonna be lowered 2" in the back and 1" in the front, and flat black will be the finished paint job. Have you thought about suicide doors?

How did you know I asked where you were? I changed that after looking at your profile. I saw that mountains in the background and it looked like you were sitting in a bowl, like Albequerque.
