Message:
my question is, that if I get hotchkis 2"
lowering springs (1" on RT) can I use the
stock shock length. Also does the RT use the
same shocks as any other dakota 2X4. I'm
new at this , I have a 99 R/T, thanks for the
help.

I just put the hotchkis kit on my 99 R/T and I changed all four shocks to hotchkis/bilstein. I tried the stock ones for about two weeks and bottomed out going over any little bump. I had 84000 miles on my stock shocks when I put the hotchkis kit on.

well. the reason I ask is that I can get a great
deal on the bilstein shocks (stock 2X4 length,
but not the lowering one's) and woundered if
they would work ok on only an inch lowering.

Even if you can get a good deal is it worth risking if the new shocks are for the stock height. I personally wouldn't waste the time or money getting something that isn't designed for the specific application.
