So back on topic, I would like to hear from anyone who has simply used 1994-2001 drop springs. If these are an option I don't see why there wouldn't be some feedback or pics, but I don't see any. I just bought some 1992 B250 Van lower control arms from Rock Auto so I'll start heading down that path for now.


Resurrected a pic of a buddies Bonneville truck. What he did the ole hit n miss on the front coil springs. I think he ended up cutting two coils on each side. Given the truck was a 3/4 ton the coils were HD. On the rear he used a drop shackle mounted on the center hole. He still retained the 3/4 ton rear in the stock configuration. As far as tech he passed but got a little scrutiny in that the class he ran didn’t allow for suspension mods as far as drop. He told the techs that the truck retained its proper suspension. Given the drop wasn’t in the salt(weeds) they let him slide. Had another team competing in his class filed a protest he probably would of been disqualified.

Just stay away from anything from Mid America Customs. .....

The bottom photo I posted of the suspension is Fab lower control arms with 1st gen Dakota dropped spindles. It's the best ride and the geometry is good.

Yeah, not into cutting the springs. You've gotta know what the spring rate is. If you cut them you'll never really know and it'll inevitably be off and they will be unequal and unbalanced.

I have not found these fabricated lower control arms anywhere. Are th from Mid America Kustoms? Mid America Customs is a golf cart place out of Paducah, KY. The Mid America Kustoms place doesn't mention any Mopar or Suspension components on their web site. Is that the company that makes them or you just tried to buy them from there? Any links? I don't want mine quite in the weeds as yours but I would like the 2" drop. Probably not going to do a comb of lowering parts, i.e. Van or fabricated LCA's + drop splindles. Just looking for one component for a touch lower. I've got a sway bar on it already and ordered Van LCA's. If that lowers it 2" and an axle flip get's 3" in the back it will sit nice and level. If the fabricated LCA's lowers it a little more in the front it will have a nice rake to it.

My main goal is optimal handling performance ( not an autocrosser but as good as you can get a truck), not looks, perse. 17x8's in front and a fast ratio steering box and it'll be [censored].

What is it with these losers coming into forums and being Karens? Nobody asked your opinion Karen (Rhinodart and Don). The title should have let you know that nobody is going to care what you have to say in regards to lowering a D100. Literally, nobody in this chat cares that YOU don't like lowered trucks.

Do you really think anyone in here is going to say to themselves, " You know what? These two random losers don't like lowered trucks. I think I won't lower mine now."?

It's like walking into a sporting goods store and getting on the loudspeaker and proclaiming to all the sports enthusiasts shopping there, " I don't like sports.". Nobody here cares what you think.

Don't be a Karen!

This is Don.

This is Rhinodork

That is my opinion, don't like it, don't post a thread on it! You can just FO if you don't like it! You are only a caretaker of a nice vehicle, the next guy will fix your mistakes....LOL
