Planning on lowering tha 99/Dak/318
Which setup will give me an even drop 3/4 or 3/5?
I don't want the rear higher or lower than the front. Can someone help me out?

I've heard that 3"/6" makes the Dak sit level.
I'm planning on a DJM 3/5 drop, w/ lower control arms and rear hangers/shackles. To get an extra inch in the back, a simple 1" lowering block kit would do the trick.:)

I lowered my quad cab with a belltech 2/4 kit. I found the truck actually looked closer to 3/5 mabye because the numbers are form the RT which is 1" lwer to begin with. Anywho..... mine sits level.

all u need to level it from stock is like 1" blocks or somethin, i mean im not an expert but i know there isnt a 3in diffrence in the front and back. from there im pretty sure u can choose an even drop. don't everyone write back and say im an idiot if any of this is wrong, its just what i think is right and i still have a lot of learning to do.
peace

2" blocks will get it pretty level. I had some on for a while, but I took em off because I need some money, so I'm gonna sell em.

it depends on what you mean by level. if you are talking about the wheel well above the wheel then the back is 2 in. higher than the front. If you are talking about the height of the front and rear from the ground then it is only one inch higher in the back. For a level low look on my dakota i went with a 2/4 inch drop. I would have gone lower but it is a work truck. but in short the back is 2 in. higher.

I did mine at 3/6 (by accident-I was sold 3" blocks instead of 2" and I didn't realize it) It was defintely lower in the back. a 2" drop difference from rear to front will make it level. 1" isn't enough and 3" is to much.
