: Hi,

: I have a 93 Dakota and lowerded it last week. somebody told me that the ABS doesn´t work anymore because the computer now thought that the truck is fully loaded.

Absolutely not. Lifting or lowering will have no effect on ABS. The
computer doesn't know if there is 5,000lbs in the bed or no bed at all,
for that matter. Plus, if you think about it for a sec, why would a vehicle
manufacturer cause ABS to stop working when the vehicle is loaded? Good
stopping ability is just as important loaded as when empty.
