ok this has been covered a ton of times but how do we get companies to start making either lowering springs or kits?

Flood them with calls and emails, I'm sure if anyone local to the company offered their truck for testing it might help too. I'd do it but none of these companies are anywhere near me.

One thread with contact info for all the companies we'd like to get parts from isn't a bad idea. I know I'd definitely like to see some aftermarket ball joints and sway bar endlinks as well as some lowering options.

They have to believe they can make money on them; Dodge only sold about 30,000 Daks this year and 50,000 last year, so the aftermarket isn't quite on the scale of the F-150 or Silverado or even the Ram.

Here is a link to slammed1 suspensions. They seem to specialize in Dodges.

I would just like a quality stock replacement kit with all polyurethane bushings and some nice new tubular A arms. Maybe something that works with regular shocks and accepts 1" taller springs without comprimising cv joints. Am I asking for too much?
