Default Lowering kits for R/T's

I'm looking to lower my R/T and the lowest kit I can find for it is a 2/3 drop from DJM. Are there any other kits that'll work on an R/T that'll give me more of a drop, say 3/4 or 3/5? thanks.

r u lowerin for looks or performance and how much r u willin to spend? ive got a 98 r/t and am savin up for the hotchkis tvs for dakota r/ts. it will handle way better cuz it uses lowerin leafs not blocks out back...it costs like $1600-$1700 for a complete front/rear kit with shocks.it should lower it about 2/3" too.

its made for all dakotas, not just the R/Ts...

the R/Ts came with a suspension lowerd 1" all around.. so the TVS on R/Ts would only do 1/2.5" on a normal dakota with no R/T package it would do 2/3.

The Hotchkis TVS is a all inclusive kit that has been designed and tested as a system. No need to mix and match components. The TVS system includes Sport Coils, Sport Sway Bars, and leaf springs.

Specs: 2" Front Drop (1" On RT Models), 3" Rear Drop (2.5" On RT Models)

just letting you know that before you go out and by it..
