I need to lower the rear on my 1995 Dakota 2wd Sport. I mounted the leaf springs under the frame to gain tire clearance. Mission accomplished but to no surprise it has raised the rear about 2". Stock for stock from what I have seen the lengths of springs for the two generations of truck are the same. It looks like the bushing eye holes for mounting the springs are larger on the second gen and the pack thickness is different. Is this the only difference? Belle Tech sells lowering leaf springs P# 5983 for the second gen Dakota but not the first gen. I'm in communication with a shop about de arching my current springs but if the Belle Tech lowering springs for the second gen will work they are a bargain at $290 per pair and would be convenient.
