I plan to use the Dakota to pull my Challenger bracket car. I've already swapped the 3.9 for a 5.2 and now need to beef the suspension. To me, it looks like the springs are bent, but the ride height seems OK. Also, when I sit on the tailgate (~180 lbs) the rear of the truck drops about an inch. Are these springs toast, and if so, what should I go with? I've heard of people using springs from a Ram 1500. Would this be a simple R&R job? I've got the original springs from my Challenger that I thought I might add to the stock spring pack, but if the main spring is bent I don't even want to mess with doing that. Any suggestions?
