I am a proud owner of a Dodge Dakota. My friend recommended I get my truck lowered. I’m not sure of the benefit of this, however. Why should I get my Dodge Dakota lowered?
) lowered—it just depends on what you want to get out of your driving experience.
When we say ‘lowering,’ we refer to your car’s suspension. This means the body of your Dodge Dakota will literally be closer to the ground.
By lowering your truck, you’ll experience the following benefits:
Better aerodynamics
Improved handling
Lowered risk of a rollover
However, there’s some potential cons, mostly related to your car’s 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.
