I am thinking about getting a 1978 D150, does anyone make a drop kit for it? 2-6". And any other companies that specialize in these year truck in more than just suspension.

Anyone?

Sadly Dodge's are pretty under supported in the aftermarket. I don't know of any BUT I don't know that there are none either. Specific parts like drop spindles might be tough to find but for only a few inches you could get your coils cut/modified, or completely remade to the desired height by a good spring shop. All standard options of de-arched springs, axle on top, lowering blocks etc apply to the rear.

I actually posted a site awhile back in this section, just don't remember where. They do make a drop for the 72-80.

My 72 D100 sat about 2 inches lower than my 78 D150, maybe you can swap the suspension parts?

Moparts is a good source for anything mopar, I saw this last week and thought I would share it with you.

Yes, there is a kit. You can also make your own using parts off of various vehicles but that seems like more of a hassle. You can also cut the coil springs and flip the rear axle below the springs. For 2 inches of drop I wouldn't even bother with a kit, cut the coils and maybe use longer rear shackles. Moparts is the place for all your questions and answers.

Nobody that I know of makes spindles. you can get dropped control arms and adjustable uppers. You can also look into using 1 ton lower control arms, they have a recessed lower pocket that would give you a couple inches without cutting your springs.

go to the lowered trucks not air part and click on the dodge section. you have to search it for a while, but the stuff is in there.

these are the dropped lower control arms..

If you are interested in about 4" of drop this kit would be ideal. It is $100 more than what they mentioned in the 1st post. You can also buy the individual parts from them too. Look on the 3rd page for current prices. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/sho ... ost4235480
