I am going to lower my 1999 dakota R/T. i dont know what to go with. will shackles/hangers have a better ride than 4" leaf springs. both are from Belltech, so they r good quality. what should i go with???

I am going to lower the front with 3" coils. i know it will be kinda bouncy, but ill get shocks sometime soon. thanks guys!!!

As long as you get good shocks, hangers maintain the stock ride. the leafs have less arc and travel to them, so they'd prolly be stiffer. it depends if u want it to ride like stock, or if u want it to be a little stiffer. It'll depend mostly on the shocks though. You'll also want to get rid of the stock bumpstops; maybe even c-notch the frame since u have an R/T. Hope this helps.
