Well i got lazy and decided to run the truck up the block a few months back and let them do the brakes while i ran my shop....

Later on that day the caliper fell off because some asshat cross-threaded the caliper bolt in and wrecked the thread, so (i have a machine shop) that night im making a new caliper slide bolt and tapping the spindle so i can get home.

Brakes are gone again and last time i played with this i had to make another caliper slide bolt/pin...
I figure wth i might as well lose the spindle and while im at it lower it and kill 2 birds with one stone...

Well i see spindles for the older trucks and not the 99 and up, are the 96 spindles different than the 99 and up dakotas? or is there a particular company that does make them ?

 

So i take it no one had used lowering spindles on a 97 thru 03 dodge dakota ? ?

 

97-04 lowering spindles dont exist...

 

DJM makes lower control arms that will lower the front 3".
