I put lowering blocks on the rear and cut my front springs. The ride is a little rough but it so much better looking and can handle curves without so much body roll. Great videos

Saw a guy that custom made a two stage spring with some random prices of spring of different gauges and he said it’s the best handling car he’s put together (he was driving a 1997 rx7) it also lowered it by a full 2.9 inches looked sick

Theres nothing wrong with cutting springs. Heating them is bad

I know this sounds crazy, but I am going to ask anyway. I have an 09 Ram 1500 with 22" wheels and 305/ 40 22's...I want to get the truck a little lower but I don't want to go with a 2"/4" drop because I still work out of the truck and haul stuff from time to time. My ideal lowering rate ( I think) would be a 1" / 2" or 3". I know it sound like a lot of work for that little of drop. I thought I would get your opinion on cutting the springs just for that amount and what you would do shock wise, stock shock or lowered shock? I'm not saying I am going to go through with it, just want some advice. Thanks.

If you disconnect the lower ball joint there is no need to take apart all the brake hardware. You will have to slightly fight the weight of the brake hardware, spindle and upper control arm. This is easier to do with two people.

You got lucky that the ball joints have been replaced before. They come stock riveted onto the control arms. Mine snapped and it was a pain to get them off

I bought my truck with cut springs now it bounces to much should it be due to cut springs or something else

@deathunit1 4 жыл бұрын

If the dakotas have the same lower control arm as the 1500s you can get the lower control arms off of a b series van and itll lower it without cutting springs.

@chadpearsall7398 4 жыл бұрын

They already make tubular lower drop arms for dakotas. And no van arms eont fit

@deathunit1 4 жыл бұрын

@@chadpearsall7398 ah see I dint know what will interchange between the dakotas and 1500s. I have a 1500 so all my research goes to that, and so far there isn't much information between the dakota and 1500 interchangeability.

It feels like stock to be honest but obviously less travel and you have to be more careful on big bumps since it can bottom but the ride feels like stock.
