Hey,
I've got a 2000 Dakota sport Ext. Cab 2wd 2.5L (although it says V8, 318ci
in the works!) Wanting to save on 15x as big as I can go rims. and cheap
lowering of two inches all around. I'll think I'll use blocks for the back.
Any and all imput would be appresiated. My truck is Factory white with Red
Raceing stripes, Fabbed right off of a viper, and digital cut same color
checkered flag and stripes graphics on the side. Ram heads are all over the
truck. With a "If you can't DODGE IT RAM IT sticker between the raceing
stripes on the tailgate. ---Ben.
