I used the Belltech 2/4 kit with the lowered rear hangers and 2" front shocks on my 2002 Dakota SXT. To be honest you can't even tell it's lowered. I had a shop do it as I didn't want to go through the hassle. When I first had it done, it was a horribly rough ride, however here's a bit of advise. In the rear, add some shock extenders. I used Belltech Nitro Drop shocks in the rear thinking it would be enough, and it was still harsh. Once I added the rear shock extenders, it was a night and day difference. I suggest getting a set for sure, I picked mine up on eBay. I also made sure to use the Nitro Drop shocks in the front with the 2" drop coils. Truck isn't as low as I want, but rides amazingly well.
 
FYI, I had the DJM 3" lowered control arms on the front before I swapped out for the Belltech 2" Springs. Ride was good, but every now and then, the lowered spring pocket would scrape over a bump or dip. I loved the look, but hated the scraping sound and was always paranoid about bumps and dips. In the end, just thought it wasn't worth it.
