you have it lowered 5 in the front with springs and coils? it doesnt sit on the bumpstops?i have mine lowered that way and it sits on the bumpstops up front. i even put the flat pancake ones in. i'm also running a 18" rim up front. :dontgetit

damn nice dude, i plan on being that low eventually, goin a little different though, i was thinking of gettin the hotchkis, (those coils to replace my belltech ones) and then 3in DJM arms, and use my belltech hangers (4in) thatd be 5/7 and probably ride pretty rough, but it would be as low as yours and handle great, ha after that im going to get crazy with the wheels, nothing big at all though. Crager soft 8s, 15x7 up front and 17x9 out back, give a nice drag look, i gotta wait for some cash flow though! ha but awsome looking stance, ive been looking for a dak with a 5/7 and youre the first i have seen. your truck gets me more motivated to do mine!!!
whats next?

Looks good.

 

[Dj Wolf]

Looks damn good man, love the way your dak looks. Does your drive shaft rub the cab at all? My rear sits as low as yours (even though mine is on bags), and i had to notch my cab. But mine will be lower as soon as i narrow my rear to clear some 22's. How far off the ground is your frame in the rear?

nope no issues with the driveshaft..i was worried the slip yoke would slam into the output shaft of the trans. i think my frame is 4 1/2 inces off the ground....in the NEAR future i will go with bags. maby after i grauduate school in october this year :woot:

u goin to all truck nats this year?

 

[cupholder]

i wouldnt run r/t rims on that truck, for whoever suggested.

i'm running my r/t rims on my truck and when i ride as low as you, my rims rub my control arms (djm 2") when i make a turn. so to make a full turn i have to lift the truck up. so i ride cali most of the time around town.

I hated having the R/T rims on my truck when it was bagged. I had to ride high as hell just so the tires wouldn't rub. They looked better, but sports are lighter and better for lower daks.

whats GTG?

and why do R/t rims hit the control arms? is it beacuse they are 1" bigger?

 

[cupholder]

the R/t rims are wide as hell. and the position the control arm is in, when you turn the rim rubs.

 

[Hynge]

o ok...any other rims u think that would look good for my dakota?

 

[miles]

love that dakota, very clean lookin not too many lowered trucks that i like(no offense) but that is def one of them just throw some clear corners and that thing would definitely be my nomination
