:eek:I need some advice, how far would the airbar actually lower my dakota at ride height, and deflated with 18' s? and for the front, is the shockwave actually lower than the coolride, or whats lowest? will the rails ever touch ground when parked?

thanks:)

I have a 99 club cab, depending on were you measure the fram is about 4 inches from the ground. At this point the frame is laying on the rear axle. I have the coolride setup on the front to go any lower in the front would need mods to the fender wells I have about 1/4" space between the tire and the fender well. I would suggest that you use the Shockwaves for the front. Having to mount the shock on the outside of the A-arms cause the front tires to rub the shocks in full steering lock. I made up steering stops to prevent this. I hope this helps answer your questions.

Ride height on the rear will be about 4" lower than factory and fully deflated is about 7" . The shockwave and the CoolRide both have the same drop up front.
