DJM Suspension 3" Front / 3" Rear Complete Lowering Kit - Shocks Included (1997-2004 Dodge Dakota RT) - DJM2397RT-3/3
Dialed In 3/3 Drop for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota RT
If you want the perfect middle ground between a mini truck and a full size, the Dodge Dakota RT already delivers from the factory. The DJM2397RT-3/3 Complete Lowering Kit takes that aggressive stance and sharpens it with a true 3" front and 3" rear drop designed specifically for 1997-2004 Dakota RT models.
This Calmax based kit transforms your trucks posture without overcomplicating the install. Up front, simply remove and replace the factory lower control arms with DJM Calmax Control Arms to achieve the 3" drop while maintaining proper geometry. Out back, heavy duty all steel lowering blocks raise the axle 3" for a clean, level rear drop.
The result is a balanced 3/3 stance that enhances appearance and street presence while keeping the Dakota RTs performance attitude intact. Shocks are included to properly control the suspension at the new ride height.
