cuz my ride is way bouncy and stiff...but then the front end seems really mushy on the freeway and rubs like b*%ch in the little bumps

all new upper and lower A arms, springs, bell tech lowering shocks and the rear has new leafs but is blocked 2 inches( i can understand why the rear end is bouncy but still fill me in...)

and i still have 29 inch tires on there, but this couldnt be any reason ?




aslo...have any of your lowered dakotas A-arms shifted front and back after installing them...like when u gas it or brake really hard?

i have the same problems with the a-arm shifting sensation when i brake or get on it.its my problem is in the rack and pinion. cause i changed all the bushings and ball joints.

also i had to replace the control arm bolts and it seemed to help the problem, but there is still a definite rack problem.
i welded the rack to the frame in my 92 dakota with some angle iron. i also weldedthe column to the rack cause there was too much play.

my other dakota was recalled in 1990 and the dealer welded the rack to the frame. so i just used there idea. it seemed to stiffen up the front end.
