Yes I have two holes on my shackles. I am using the upper upper hole. It dropped the truck about 2.25". Which would be too much as the differnce between fr and rear is aaround .75". I think the upper hole was 2.5 inches higher than stock. I have not measured the shorter hole but I am betting it would drop more than .75", probalby close to 1.5" as the hole looks to be about 1" shorter. You could always lower the front to match.

perfect! My rear is about 1.5 inches higher in the back. That would probably workout just fine.

I have a Durango R/T, I dropped it 2" I also did the same on a Dakota 4x4, It took a lot to figure out how but I can tell you. The Durango was easier, use a DJM 2" block Dakota R/T lift kit for the rear, since the Durango's axle is above the springs the lift kit will do the reverse and drop the rear instead. On the front loosen the torsion bars but only go 2" or it will be too soft and replace the font shocks with toxics that are 2" shorter. You also have to cut the rear bump stops. On the Dakota I had to use de-arked leaf springs and replace all the shocks, finding the right shocks was tricky the fronts were toyota.


Where did you get this? I've never seen it for sale? Thanks.

The Durango was easier, use a DJM 2" block Dakota R/T lift kit for the rear,
