does anyone here have the 2"lowered shackles for their 97-current dakotas? the actual shackles, not shackle mounts, or also called shackle extenders. if so where did you get them and how much? i ordered my kit and it came with shackle mounts, i need shackles. mine is a 98 cc
thanks

thanks for the reply eric, the mounts are just 8 more hot pressed rivets that i have to get out, since a friend and i are doing the install, looks like ill just go with the 4"block in the rear so it wil be 3/4
thanks
steve
p.s. did you ever get my email about the bill of sale? if not i just wanted to know if you could write another one up and send it my way, whenever its convenient for you, thanks

this is what i did too my 2002 dakota before i bagged it i was able to get a 8/9 drop out of it!
i used 3" drop arm in the front w/2" drop springs
then i took off the sway bar it was bouncey but comfortable in the back i use 4" blocks and took out three leafs. it was making noises in the back but a little grease helped. what you can also do if you can weld is stack the 4" and some 2" blocks in the back its more comfortable

Me and my friend just lowered his dak with hangers and shackles. We have no air hammer so it took us 5 whole days to get those 16 damn rivets off. It was a bitch and a half. But it looks nice.

this is mjjstangs friend. my rear 5in kit came with 4 hangers i think? no shackle extenders. do all your guys kits come with the front 2 and then in the back do u get the lil extenders or the actual hangers that bolt to the frame? its just buggin me b/c every kit pic i see on the net has 2 extenders and 2 hangers, not 4 hangers, but mine fit on perfectly and it might be more then 5in b/c the bumpstops and resting on the axle.
