I can't decide whether to raise the front or lower the rear....all I know is that the thing needs to be level one way or another....

Shackles are cheaper & easier ($65)

Plus you can adjust the shackles from 1.25" lower or 1.75" lower

Hey Frenchy did you drop the front end to and if you did how did you do it with lower springs or what,I just recieved a response from Aim Industries asking what they recommend for the Dak they suggested their Lowboyz adjustable struts 1 to 3 inches of drop,but at $379 might be awhile before I can afford em.They look pretty trick.Did the drop effect your handling or anything?My next project hopefully going to be dropping the Dak after I get my Electric fan squared away.

To sstreckfuss.....

Do you ever plan on doing any offroading? And I mean ANY?

I was driving with my truck stock height, and hit something when I was declining a hill, and damaged the front of my frame. So, depending if you ever gonna do that. Base ur decision off of that.

I'll probably go up with the front. I do plan on taking the truck to Moab next year and although I will stick to the granny trails every little bit of clearance could help...

Sweet lookin Dak Frenchy! Those black wheels look great. On another note, we dont need the four letter words on the forum. Dont take it personal, just some constructive criticism.[sm=deal.gif]

Excuse me? I'm sorry, I have been on this site for almost three years now, I am a moderator, and I HIGHLY doubt the vast majority of pepole on here mind that word in particular... they have the worst swear word edited for a reason. Please don't tell me about language, and all will be happy.

Thanks for the compliment on my truck BTW.

And another by the way... I am one of the most helpful people in this section. Just so you know, and people don't complain to me.
