Any one have these old babies anymore?If so lets see some of them dropped.Mines a 93 2wd with a 318 shift kit and posi rear,any advice on how low to go would be great but i live in PA so give me your thoughts and lets see some pics.

i'll have to track some old pics (im at work so i cant do it now). but i think you would be happy with a 2/4 it will allow you to fill out the wheel whels and let it sit lower. plus if you do it right it will still hook up at the track.

www.sporttruckdirect.com - they sell western chassis kits which was the original and best IMO kits designed for the gen1/2 dakotas. right now i am still running their 2in drop spindles on baggs and they still ride good, dispite the abuse i put on em

The sporttruckdirect kits are by far the best for the Gen I/II daks, I've got a set of drop spindles from them and springs, But I'm running blocks out back for now. I've got a 4/4 drop on my 87, that I will be swapping to my new 91. I'll post pics of the 91 when the drop is finished.
