2" a-arm + 2" coil spring....go 6" or 7" in back.
you will need a c-section for the rear frame.
Took about 4 hours to lower my truck...used 3"
DJM control arms and 5" shackle hangers
(added a 1" block couple of weeks later) Your
drop should take about the same, depending
on if you use the shackle hanger setup or
leafs and blocks...drilling out the stock rivets
in the rear is a pain, but worth it.
kotaon20's has a 4-6 drop, he has pics in the
member gallery, looks good, but dakotas sit
raked with a 3-5 or 4-6 drop, my
recomendation is to go 3" extra in the rear, not
2" extra.
I have pics @

remember to get a good alignment when
you're done.
