Default 3/5 drop

Anyone have or know where to find some decent pics of a 2nd gen dak with a 3/5 drop. A regular cab would be nice. Ever notice how the pictures on a manufacturers website usually suck...

I have a 3/5 drop on mine, but I'm not sure how good you can see it cuz of the burnout. I have some other pics on my myspace page.

Alright, the DJM drop is the way to go. I'm looking at either the 3/5 quick drop or the 3/5 pro drop, probably the pro. They both come with a 5" hanger and shackle kit for the rear, but the quick drop just has coil springs for the front and the pro has contrl arms instead. But don't I need new springs(or i think its at least recommended) if I lower it anyways? Plusmine springs probably need replaced anyways. Do I need new shocks also? Thanks.

Yes, you should get lowered shocks. And I have the 3" lowered springs on my truck, and never had a problem.

I'm not big on lowering a ride, but thats the way I'd go.

don't know what kit i haveas it was on the truck when i bought it, but i can say the 3 inch drop makes for great handaling, but a rougher ride. not bad, but rougher than stock!
