Hi, I have been lookin at getting a 3/5 drop kit for my 00 dakota sport CC i was wondering if i would still be able to to haul 1 snowmobile on the back and pull a double snowmobile trailer with 2 on it if i get the drop. Is there anyone out there that does the same with a 3/5 kit already installed? Anyone have any idea?? thanks.

Hey Glenn i found some SLAM AIR AIR ADJUSTABLE SPRINGS
Towing and hauling with a lowered truck doesn't have to result in a bad ride
Springs adapt lowered truck's rear leaf suspension system to provide an adjustable spring rate for ride comfort and variable load requirements
Designed specifically for lowered trucks with 2" to 6" drop, including trucks with flipped axles and notched frames. Easy to install. Brackets included to fit Bell Tech® C-sections plus hardware and detailed instructions. Use service station air hose to inflate springs or order an on-board air supply system (sold separately). Never exceed manufacturer's recommended gross vehicle rating. Sold in pairs.

but couldnt find any for a dakota. If so could you tell me exactly where u found them?

THanks

Does anyone know if a c-notch would fix my problem? I believe someone once told me it would.
