1997-2004 Dodge Dakota, Dakota R/T & Dodge Durango 2-Inch Front Lowering Control Arms

Give your truck or SUV the aggressive stance and improved handling it deserves with these 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota, Dakota R/T, and Dodge Durango 2-Inch Front Lowering Control Arms. Engineered as a direct replacement for the factory lower control arms, these premium suspension components provide a simple, reliable way to achieve a clean 2-inch front drop while maintaining excellent ride quality, proper suspension geometry, and factory-like drivability.

Whether you're building a street truck, restoring a Dakota R/T, upgrading your daily driver, or creating a custom lowered Durango, these lowering control arms deliver professional results without the compromises often associated with cut springs or inexpensive lowering methods.

Direct Bolt-On Lowering Solution

Unlike lowering springs that can negatively affect ride quality or suspension travel, these lowering control arms are specifically engineered to relocate the suspension geometry for a proper lowered stance. Simply remove the factory lower control arms and install these direct-fit replacements to achieve approximately a 2-inch front suspension drop.

One of the biggest advantages of this design is the ability to retain your factory front coil springs and shocks if desired. This allows many owners to lower their truck while maintaining the ride characteristics they already enjoy. For even better ride control, upgraded performance shocks are recommended.

Built for Strength and Long-Term Reliability

Manufactured from heavy-duty materials, these lowering control arms are designed to withstand the demands of everyday driving while providing the durability required for performance applications. Every control arm is built to maintain proper suspension alignment and steering geometry after lowering, helping preserve predictable handling and tire wear.

Each set comes fully assembled with new premium ball joints already installed, eliminating the need to reuse worn factory components. High-quality urethane bushings are also pre-installed, providing improved steering response and longer service life compared to aging rubber bushings.

Improved Handling and Aggressive Stance

Lowering the front of your Dodge Dakota or Durango not only improves appearance but can also enhance overall handling characteristics. By lowering the vehicle's center of gravity, these control arms help reduce body roll, improve steering feel, and create a more planted driving experience.

The result is a cleaner profile, reduced wheel gap, and the sporty stance that Dakota R/T enthusiasts and custom truck builders have been seeking for years.

Factory Alignment Capability

One of the standout advantages of these lowering control arms is their ability to maintain proper suspension geometry. After installation, your vehicle can typically be aligned to factory specifications, helping maximize tire life while ensuring stable highway performance and predictable handling.

This makes them a superior alternative to lowering methods that can create excessive camber, poor alignment, or uneven tire wear.

Perfect for Street Trucks and Custom Builds

Whether you're building a show-quality Dakota R/T, installing larger wheels, improving handling, or simply eliminating excessive wheel gap, these front lowering control arms provide the professional foundation needed for a properly lowered suspension.

They pair exceptionally well with rear lowering kits, performance shocks, sway bars, and aftermarket wheels to create a balanced suspension package for both appearance and performance.

Recommended Front Shock

For the best ride quality and suspension performance, the recommended front shock for this application is:

• Front Shock: Part #1315

Using the recommended shock helps optimize suspension travel and ride comfort after lowering.
