I'm just in the process of a total rebuild of my 78 Warlock . I realy like the look of the lower stance of the trucks on this thread.
Here is a pic of my truck in Feb 2010 . Have the cab & fenders on it now . I have 2" lower springs on it with 245 45 17 on the front & 285 40 17 on the back . She is still to high for me. So i'm going to lower it with the van lower control arms .
I would like to know what year of Dakota 2" spindles i would need to order . Correct me if i'm wrong . I believe an older post said 87 to 90 spindles for the 72 to 78 trucks .
what is the best kind to buy?

I just lowered the rear on my 92 D150 last week. I used to have it sitting high for towing but in the last year I`ve taken out the air shocks and add a leafs and added B Body Ranchos and traction bars because I race it occasionally. I just added longer shackles and it lowered the rear 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Now the truck sits level and looks better,its not actually lowered but its level.

it rides just like stock...you have to cut them with a wiz wheel or sawall, dont use heat. i think for every half coil its an inch lower

not sure how he did it but I used a front hanger to replace the rear hanger and flip the shackle it will lower it or lift it depending on the axle placement..lower a 2x..lift a 4x4 axle under spring is a 4-5 inch lift axle over spring is a 4-5 inch drop gives a very good stance and ride,very cheap and all mopar parts i floped an A-body 8 3/4 in to run 12" rims and 29x15x15 M/Ts tucked in the fenders lots of nice truck here
