I'm working on build a thread for the truck. The Dakota frame doesn't leave a lot of room for offset on the front wheels. On the good the suspension travel is not a lot, what diameter tires are you going to be using? Right now the tires are stock 27" tires thus I can't go as low because it scrubs the fenders. The bottom of my fenders and running boards will be 8" not to low for a hotrod. The front nose will be 7" but I have to add a front bumper which will chage the ride height appearance.

So when I get shorter tires it can easily sit 6" off the ground. This is my wife's truck and she didn't want it too low.
There's also 2" drop spindles which is an option if you want it really low. Also you will be cussing everytime you need to mount the front tire on the hub. They look cool low but anything below 6" will be a nightmare.
