Lowering Kit Problem - 6/6/2004 2:04:20 PM    searcherone   Posts: 3 Joined: 6/6/2004 Status: offline Just bought a 2002 Dakota r/t ext cab that someone put a lowering kit on. It has stock wheels and tires, the suspension seems soft, and the front tires are scaping the wheel wells. Is there any quick/ inexpensive way to raise the front end an inch and stiffen the front and rea suspension??? It looks like the kit included lower A arms in front. Post #: 1

After more research it looks like I have a DJM Suspension lowering kit front and rear with Nitro Drop shocks. Up front it has the DJM lower control arms, and I can't tell if I have stock or DJM springs. The rear has the full kit (Hangers,and lowering blocks). (in reply to Deleted User) Post #: 4

DJM arms are not known for being the strongest aftermarket arms out there. i would put the stock lower arms back on with a 2" drop coil kit and some good shocks, Bilstein are good Edlebrock IAS are not bad.
