i have belltech blocks in the rear end of my dakota and i love them.

iight thakns man^^^^^^ what about ride quality?

[ItsMe]

the front of the truck SUCKS......not sure what brand the springs are, but the rear with the belltech blocks are nice, pretty smooth actually...and thats with a 3 inch drop.

iight cool. im thinking of getting the beltech, 2-2 drop. a buddy of mine works for a spring/shock manufacturer, so he can do the math on the ride height and then figure out what spring/shock combo i need

Both brands are good so it's really your call. I think a nice drop wold look killer on your truck, but then the grill gaurd will look out of place IMO

Ah. You beat me to it Ben. I've ridden in both belltech (my truck) and DJM (Bens truck/lower control arms) and they both ride awesome. I'd say either or. But yeah deffinately ditch the brush guard.... way out of place especially if youre going to lower it. Just my .02

[Ben]

Yeah I still have the stock HD springs in the front. The rear rides much worse then the front. IMO the lower control arms are the way to go, but they cost more and are more work to install, but you get new ball joints in them so that's a plus and the ball joints have zerk fittings.

Didn't you have the light guards on there too at one point? If you did, and you decide to ditch it, what would you want for it? I want the full front, not just the bull bar.

yay! A poll! I love polls!

DJM is the better of the two evils, I dont care for eitheir.

My first drop kit was a Belltech hanger drop and front spring. It SUCKED as far as ride quality...so I would personally steer clear of it.

Save up and try to find a GOOD quality drop kit. Avoid hanger/shackle drops

i want your headlights.

Avoid hanger/shackle drops

Other than being a complete PITA to install, what do you have against a hanger/Shackle combo? It rides like stock (unless you bottom out all the time)

I'd get front DJM arms, and some blocks for the rear.:banana2:
