i have a 4x405 dakota, and i just wanted to know if anyone who hasa 4x4 model has done any lowering and had any problems. i don't know if its true, but i heard rumors that with the 4x4 you can run into problems with, i assume to be, the transfer case. anyone know?

 

You can run into a lot of problems if you lower too far. A subtle drop is fine. But good luck finding anything, other than the shackles.

Thatis a link to an airbag kit from airbagit.com. I was looking into doing it, but when I called their tech guys about it, they said they were having problems on the 4X4s. If you drop it down to far, the front drive shafts start to contact the lower a-arm. Said they where working something to fix it, but it would be a couple of months at thie earliest, this was in late November. I haven't checked back with them since.

 

thanks i'll keep an eye on that also, i don't plan on doing anything else big to my truck till summer. already put on a truck bed cover, throttle body and soon decals. so hopefully they'll have something by mid to end summer.

 

There was a guy on here that lowered his 4wd.....FONTANAmotorsports.......he had some custom springs made and planned on selling them....dunno if he ever did though

You could do the shackles in the rear to level it and I think if you crank on the torsion bars up front it could change the ride height too (someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I know they help in lifting the front...so I'm sure they can lower a little too)

 

No torsion bars on 05 and up

 

Ahhhhhh.....yeah I didn't think I saw any on a 4x4, but oh well. I know the previous gens. did

My mom's '05 Durango does have them though, IIRC
