Hey, I have a '97 Dakota sport, RC SB 3.9 5speed. I run RT rims w/ 275/40ZR17 in the summer and 235/75R15 in the winter. I want a subtle (sp) drop. I was looking at an RT suspension for my truck, but I wanted to know this: With the 3.9 being a lighter motor, would the front end drop be less than the rear end, or would it balance out, and look good? Thanks, Aaron

it would probably drop less than an inch with RT springs in front; i dont know how cheap u can get RT springs for, but it might be better off just to get drop springs specifically for a V6, for around $100 (cheaper if u want to gamble on ebay springs)...hope this helps..peace

Thanks for your reply, I've been shopping online for something, but all of the kits i've found are like 2/4 or 3/5, I'd probably drop it 2 all the way around, but I can't find any sites that give me a rear drop of 2. Do you know anywhere where I could build my own drop kit? Thanks again, Aaron
