There are pros and cons to having a lowered
Dodge Dakota
—it all depends on what kind of experience you want when you’re behind the wheel.
When we say ‘lowering,’ we refer to your car’s suspension. When you get your car lowered, the body of your Dodge Dakota will literally be closer to the ground.
By lowering your truck, you’ll reap the following benefits:
  • Better aerodynamics
  • Improved handling
  • Lowered risk of a rollover
However, some downsides are related to your car’s upkeep costs and longevity. A lowered Dodge Dakota has an increased chance of bottoming out, which can cause damage to your vehicle. You’re also more likely to experience uneven tire wear.
Don’t stop at modifying your Dodge Dakota’s suspension—modify its
