i dropped it some more in the rear for a total of 3inches.....now i have to lower the front 1 more inch (the front already is 2inches lower) im still working on getting the 3in springs, already have the 2in ones...so these will be up for sale when i get the 3in ones made..

 

Looking good Rory. I like those side mirrors
By the way....do you have a rear defrost button on your HVAC control head?

 

HEY, no i dont have the rear defrost switch since i dont have that option...still trying to pit my roll pan, should have the final mounts fabbed...at that time i will pull the hich...i will let you know

 

Thats cool.
So whats next after the rear is done? The hood? Cowl induction maybe?

 

****!!!!!yea i do have that switch for the rear defrost...even though i dont have a rear defroster.....wow..learn something new every day!!!!

 

That switch only turns on the rear defrost and/or the HEATED mirrors I have found out. Whichever the truck has.
So on that note.........you wanta trade HVAC heads? My head only has the A/C button. No defrost.

 

****...didnt know that!!! if i hit the button now it doesnt do anything but that would make sense....yea shouldnt be a problem...give me a call tommorow...maybe you can ship youres and i can ship mine at the same time on monday, so we can get this done!

 

Sweet....nice job man.
I like the "R/T" badge on the grille!!


How did you lower the rear some more???

Is your truck a 4x4 or AWD??? Is the lowering of the truck messing with the driveability at all.....especially if it's AWD, I think it would.

Nice mirrors by the way....looks like your trade worked out good for you...LOL


Next thing you might wanna look into is the blacked out headlights. They come on the 2006 R/T & NiteRunner edition Dakotas....that'd look really nice up front. Instead of the inside of the headlight being chrome, it's black. I think it's be a nice change to the front....keep the red/black theme going.

In the future maybe.....paint the door handles & mirrors too (body color), that would look nice as well.

But nice job on modding the truck...I like it!

 

After looking at the 2006 R/T that is on ebay....it doesn't have blacked out headlights (it has chrome)

At the Auto Show here in Detroit, they had a 2006 Club Cab yellow R/T and it had blacked out headlights on it though....so I dunno if ALL R/T's have them or not.

But I know for a fact that the NiteRunner edition Dakota comes with them (blacked out headlights), because they had a NiteRunner Durango & NiteRunner SRT-10 RAM at the show as well and they all had blacked out headlights too.

 

Looks great... When you lowered it the first time, did you notice much of a difference as far as height went?
