If you want a drop kit:
GROUND FORCE-rt kit 2" springs front/ rear blocks
(http://www.groundforce.com/dodgepag.html)

Belltech-v8 kit 2" springs front/shackles rear
(http://www.belltechcorp.com/pdf-files/bt-apguide102500.pdf)

Another one can be see at http://www.sporttruckdirect.com/dakota_kits.html
If your looking for springs/shocks seperate:
Hotchkis sell 2" front/3" rear drop springs (these are the only springs I have found most are shackles or blocks.)

Eibach sells 2.3 inch front drop springs

As for shocks:
Kyb makes 2 types of shocks
Edelbrock ias
bilstein
You could also by shocks from the drop kit companys like bell tech nitro shocks, etc.

As for anti sway bars,
hellwig, addco, bell tech, and I think eibach make some. Most of these items can be found at www.truckperformance.com to check-out.

Hotchkis... this is the only suspension kit I would use... will lower it a little over 1" front and rear, and will handle like a Viper... by far the best system out there.
