 Subject: R/T Parts + Hotchkis
IP: Logged
Message:
Would it be possible to use, say, the entire R/T suspension setup minus the stock swaybars, and put in place of them the Hotchkis sway's? Truckperformance says that the Hotchkis sways are for "stock height" vehicles, but the full Hotchkis involves a 2.3 drop as far as I know, so I dunno what the "stock height" stuff is all about.
Will everything work alright though with the springs and shocks for the R/T suspension, plus the Hotchkis sways?
And would the difference between the stock r/t sway's and the Hotchkis one's be worth the cash?

The Hotchks sways are much bigger and definitly make a difference. They can also be used just fine with a R/T suspension.

Exactly what I wanted to hear, THanks :)
Just another question about the R/T suspension itself, so I don't start a new thread, what all is different in the R/T suspension setup compared to a stock dakota sport?
Springs...shocks...sways....what else?
Heh really I think I will be using mainly the springs alone and get some aftermarket shocks as well...
But on the Mopar parts listings I don't see a specific "r/t suspension" just different components, I need to know which ones I need!

Get the whole package-- running anything other than the bilsteins will be cutting yourself short-- and a waste of money (I didn't get the shocks at first, got some 'other' brand and was disappointed... got the Bilsteins 2 months afterwards-- night and day better).
Oh yeah, get some new seats too... cause you'll be throw around quite a bit when you start autocrossing your truck!! ;)

Leafs, coils, sway bars, and shocks make up the R/T suspension. I have my factory leafs, coils, and front sway bar if you want to work something out. Will cost quite a bit to ship anywhere, but if you are in Cali, we can meet up.

rtdkota, if you are talkin about the full hotchkis package, I don't want it lowered that much, I like the level of the stock R/T's
What I planned was the R/T springs (and leafs), with bilstein shocks already planned on, and the hotchkis sway bars.
