 Subject: Converting rear drop back to stock specs
IP: Logged
Message:
Hi,
I have a Y2K Dakota that was dropped 2/4. I installed Western Chassis shackles and hangers out back. The stock parts were air chisled out. I was wondering If I could order new factory shackles and hangers to replace the lowered ones. If anyone out there tried to do this any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've think I've got most of what you need, I used a belltech 2/4 back in 2000 when I first lowered my truck. The belltech kit still maintained the stock shackles though (I would bet yours did to) just the hangers were changed.
Anyway I have my old hangers (I drilled and punched out the rivets, so there is no torch marks) and the stock front coil springs. I live in Ontario, CANADA so it could be expensive shipping (heavy) to wherever you are, but email me if your interested.

Thanks for the pointers. idrops4u, Thanks for the offer. I did change both shackles and hangers in the kit because it is adjustable for a 3-5 inch drop. The big problem I have with re-using old parts is what if any type of metal fatigue occured due to removing the old parts. Looks like I will hit up the local Dodge dealer to see what the parts would cost. Thanks again.
