I have a 96 dak... just go wit the 2" lower A arm and 1" spring. I have 255/50/15 so you should have more then enough room. And with the rear... try flipping leafs so they are under the axle and then try blocks there only $20.00 if not buy shackles 2".

to install blocks you need to put the blocks between the axel and the leaf.no matter if the leaf is on top or bottom of the axel. But I am sure you want your axel, block, leaf, bolt plate in that order. good luck. I have pics i can e-mail so you can see how low it can go before cutting out a notch in the frame. NOTE: I also have Shackels and Hangers total is - 6" in rear. E-mail Address is DAKOTARBKLE@CS.COM

Ok I have lowered my 1994 Dodge Dakota 2front and 4rear. I have 2 inche drop springs in now but have spindles. When i put them in with the fac springs the sway bar sits on the control arm? Anyone know how to fix it? And what is the advantage in running shackles verses blocks in the rear?
