Like the title says, where can I buy a lowering kit for my 75 D100? Or is one even on the market?
 I need to install it before I can continue with the rest of my truck. Also, where can I buy a new floorpan?  |

JC Whitney has floorpans. as for suspension, Chisholm made some stuff, i think they still do, but i don't know the number, although it has been posted several times. i think dodgevanman knows it, or RamMan. somebody should really make a sticky thread for this.

Ok there are not many options for lowering these things.
but here you go for the front would you need to do is find a set of d300 lower control arms 72-93, if you use your stock spings swap the control arms this drops the front 2 inches, if you swap your springs for 94-2001? go with a 3inch drop spring it will drop you another 2 inchs , on the back you can yuse 99 & up ford shackels( i have never done the shackel thing I've allways made my own,but I've been told that the ford ones are the way to go) Chisholms makes a lower arm & sprins for these trucks , try to search out mid 90s issues of Trucks , or lowrider , mag . on ramchargercentral.com there is a thread thats devoted to this subject , I have heard of people trying to use 87-96 Dakota spindles,but I have never been able to get a straight answer on this.... NOw I have done 18 trucks so far useing the D300 control arms & no problems, cool thing with the arms is you don't need special shocks... now if you use the springs also you will need shorter shocks .....you can also flip the front rear spring hangers,

What's the difference in the D300 arms and the D100-200 arms? I thought they were all the same except for the ball joint size. And you can use 94-2001 springs? I was wondering about that.

The 300 arms , have a pocket that the spring sits in , when they made the coils thicker to get the spring rate they wanted , it made the spring taller , so to keep ride height the same as a d200 they need to make room for the taller spring....
The newer springs are 1 inch taller then the 72-93 springs ,
