The re-indexed keys will give you a bit more range, which it seems like you need. I think the other option would be replacing the torsion bars, and them fellers ain't cheap. (I suspect they have settled some over time.)

 

I guess what I can do is go with the torsion keys it's the cheaper of the two options, then if I need to, I can change out the torsion bars.
Thank You HeyYou!!

 

Yes and no. It depends on the OEM's design requirements and I don't know what Dodge's goals were on their 4x4s. On the Chevy GMT800 trucks, the bump stops are huge, and are almost touching the A-arms up front. The stops themselves are cone shaped. That suspension is designed to use the bump stops as part of the suspension's movement. The cone shape means the bump stop will deflect quickly at first, and less and less as the suspension compresses, to improve the ride. It also means they wear out faster. On the older trucks, the bump stop was just that, a means to keep metal from slamming metal on full compression when loaded. I used to have a Chevy GMT800 4x4 reg cab that I put a lowering kit on, and ran without bump stops for a while. The intent was to get an AWD transfer case and a larger engine to make a sport AWD out of it. Never happened though, because that particular truck was a lemon. I spent so much time just keeping it running that I never was able to do much in the way of modifying it and I finally got so disgusted with it that I dumped it. But I digress... the ride was not nearly as good without the bump stops as with them, and if I hit a bump at speed, WHAM, hard impact shock wave. I picked up modified bump stops and it helped quite a bit and eliminated the hard impact when I hit bumps.

I don't know if this image is specifically off a GMT800, but it is what they look like under there. Wasn't able to find a pic of the rear on an unmodified truck. It would be interesting to see if this bumpstop could be modified to work on a Dakota. It's held on with a single bolt.
