No kidding the price is really high... but I need to do something with my
suspension since it was botched when it was lowered before. I think just
going low with springs etc is pretty cool, but going even lower with bags
and the added adjustability is cooler! i wonder how hard it would be to put
it in myself and save on the install.... I have read on the web in variuos
places that the dakota is one of the hardest trucks to body drop, but i have
no eperience there. There were some pictures around where this guy had done
that and had about a 6" deep bed.
Back to the original thread... i am with josh and would like to see the pics
of that lowered QC.
