That "proglass" truck looks SUPER sweet lowered!!

VERY aggressive looking stance!!


I'm going with the lowering shackles for the rear of my truck to just level it out.
Since it's only a lease, shackles are super easy to do & I'm not gonna mess with the front.

I'm going with the lowering shackles for the rear too and going to cut the front springs.
Does anybody know how much to cut off 1/2 coil 1 coil ?

RE: Lowering a 2005 Dakota
 

start with 1 coil, and remember to mark your strut plate before removal or it will be a bitch to lign the top studs up......this might lower it to much, or hopefuly not enough.......the supplier i m working with on springs is taking his time working up prices, his first proposal to me was too much, so im still negotiating.....

Its been awile Does anybody know of a good lowering kit yet?

RE: Lowering a 2005 Dakota
 

please DON'T cut your damn springs.....worst thing you can do to your suspension. It screws up the entire rebound rate of the spring, and the truck WILL NOT control well

If its really that important, get some custom suspension work done, or just wait for the correct drop springs to come out aftermarket.

RE: Lowering a 2005 Dakota
 

i can do a front adjustable coilover, which will give from 1-3in of drop. and i can do a rear flip kit for 4in of drop....i can also do a 2in drop front lower control arm.. check in suspension on my board if interested.
