I have a 2000 dakota 4.7 2wd and i was thinking about lowering my truck, but being a college student i have a limited budget so i was wondering what would be the best but cheapest way of lowering my truck would be.

thanks
matt

 

best and cheapest are very different animals.

best: shackles and drop control arms
cheapest: coils and blocks

 

yep batman's right.

gotta love college

 

i should do a full info thread on lowering.

 

Pretty please. that would be cool. hey batman i am persuing the airbags thing is it easy to convert the truck to bags or is it reall extensive and expensive. wihtin reason of lowering a truck.

 

depends on how you go,
my system is gonna run me 3K just for the parts, but i'll be layin frame on 22's
it can be externsive but is not particularly hard if you do all the research

 

ya college life is very restricting. will coils and lowering blocks hold up well because i have found a few different kits and was wondering if it drastically changes the ride condition.

 

I have a 2000 3.9 club cab 2wd, and I did a belltech 2in drop springs and 3in blocks in the rear. I looks good but im sittin on the factory bumpstops in the front so the ride sux, and the bump stops are a pain to remove. the coils do come with a shorter bump stop. so it depends it would probably be easier to do the shackles and A-arms.

Hope this helps you, good luck

 

thanks for the help guys, could somebody post up a link to a website where i can look at and buy a good lowering kit?

thanks
Matt
