universal axle flip kit for the rear and or adjustable rear leaf hangers. an mid90's dakota drop spindles for the front. cross reference ur upper an lower ball joins as well as ur tie rod ends on autozone.com to make sure u get the right yr of dakota spindles

I thought the Dakota spindles messed up the steering or something?

You can use 88-98 Chevy lowering shackles in the rear to drop about 2". Then use lowering springs in the front... I think you can use the 80's D100/150 ones.

ive heard everything from u gotta drill out for the balljoints to the tierods for the steering is wrong. these r all miths. if u buystock replacement parts they have the same part numbers for balljoints, tierod ends an even the spindle itself. dont bolive me though, go to autozone.com or to the store an cross reference the info for urself. i trust facts not word of mouth an the part numbers speek for themself
