Hi Im new to the forum here, Just have a question, i have a 99 dodge dakota ext. cab 4 wheel drive. Can It be lowered at all

 

i cant belive i am even responding to such a ghetto question. why lower a 4x4?

 

Im sure it can be done but i dont know and good luck finding someone who will help.. just about everyone is gonna oppose that

 

I'll take this one.

The most you are going to be able to get is 3 inches from the front, by adjusting the torsion bars. The rear can be lowered to match with either flip-shackles or lowering blocks, or a combination of each.

The ride quality will be effected, but shortder shocks can fix that for the most part. I can't help you with the shocks yet, I haven't gotten that far yet.

You will need an alignment immediately after lowering the front.

I know a lot of you guys have issues with lowering 4x4's, but some of us have what we have and still try to build what we want. I know when I bought mine, I wasn't thinking of what I wanted to do with t. Now I am looking to lower my 4x4 as well. To each his own.

^^ is correct. We have had countless people call into Stylin' Concepts asking about lowering their 4x4. personally I don't oppose it, But I love my stock height, big enough to get people the hell outta the way

 

I liked the height when I first got the wheels, but now I think it looks too high. I know I'll never be as low as I'd like, but if I can just lose some of that gap in the wheel well there, I'd be happy.
