you can lower it 2". just crank the T bars down 2" (roughly 8 turns) and get 2" blocks or 2" lowering shackles for the rear.

for the fun of it.
\/ this is a 2x4 \/


but to answer your question, I don't think you'll be able to get much without a ton of one-off parts
I know a guy who wants to bag his 4x4 dak. but just can't find parts
it would honestly be easier/cheaper to get a 2x4 if you want to bag it

I'm gonna look around, see if I can find any more info for you...

(btw, yes the back doors are shaved in the truck above)

I was going to ask the same thing. Seeing that Durango brings tears to my eyes, btw.

Yea...not really a fan of seeing them so low with huge rims and no tire. Which reminds me...lol I was driving to work one day...there was this SUV parked on the street. It has huge chrome rims and no tire, really, and it was lowered a bit. Lol...I noticed that it had one spare tire on, and I was all like "Awww...what's the matter? Your tires couldn't withstand a thumbtack?"
