Message:
I own a 2004 Dakota Sport. I want to drop it, but not too dramatically. Does anyone have any suggestions or thought? I don't want to destroy underneath of my truck, just add a lower look. thanks in advance.

Check my thread http://www.dodgedakota.net/boards/low/2454.html
Several ways of dropping:
1. Hotchkis 2/3 drop, front coil springs/rear leaf springs (TVS-coils, leafs, shocks, sway bars)
2. DJM 2/3 drop, drop control arms/lowering blocks
3. Western Chassis 2/3, drop control arms/shackles & hangers
4. Belltech, front coil springs/shackles & hangers
5. Ground Force (sorry, don't know much about this one)
I hear Hotchkis is prefered. It's a handling package and not just a drop. I myself, am leaning towards Hotchkis. Do a search for info. I hope to save up money to buy the hotchkis coils and leafs and also do ball joints. I need to save to pay for someone to install. I hope this helps.

The Hotchkis TVS would be anyones first want, but it is very pricey for a small drop.
Best bet would be 2" DJM lowering arms and some 3", maybe 4" shackles/hangers.
Try to shy away from coils(unless they are hotchkis) and blocks.
