Just bought a 2002 Dakota r/t ext cab that someone put a lowering kit on. It has stock wheels and tires, the suspension seems soft, and the front tires are scaping the wheel wells. Is there any quick/ inexpensive way to raise the front end an inch and stiffen the front and rea suspension??? It looks like the kit included lower A arms in front.

 

Get some stiffer springs, I'd buy a whole new kit from Hotchkis.

More Info... After more research it looks like I have a DJM Suspension lowering kit front and rear with Nitro Drop shocks. Up front it has the DJM lower control arms, and I can't tell if I have stock or DJM springs. The rear has the full kit (Hangers,and lowering blocks).

 

get that stuff off. DJM arms are not known for being the strongest aftermarket arms out there. i would put the stock lower arms back on with a 2" drop coil kit and some good shocks, Bilstein are good Edlebrock IAS are not bad.

 

The DJM lower control arms on my truck are the newer 1" solid bar units. SHould I still replace them?
