Anyone done it yet or plan on doing it? Seems they were created for the Durango SRT, but I assume they would work on the HC. I suppose the added weight of the supercharger may result in a bit more drop in the front. Other than that, any thoughts on these vs. the Eibachs for a DHC application?

Saw this one posted that it has Mopar lowering springs.

Thank you. Where was it posted?

Thank you. Anyone else plan on lowering?

No.I've owned an SRT Durango for 3 years and never felt like It needed to be lower...Wider tires yes..lower no.

The Mopar 18 Durangos have the lowering springs on from the factory.

I'd do it for mostly cosmetic purposes, combined with a nice set of wheels and better, wider tires. It's not like I'm going to take it autocrossing. Added bonus, maybe the wife will be able to get in and out easier.

That's not entirely accurate..

You will have to go to larger diameter wheels to get a wider tire and will have to go to 40 series...for some odd reason there are no 305/45/20's

Way ahead of you. Not my first rodeo.
My main reason for posting is to get feedback from anyone running the Mopar springs on a DHC, and if the added weight of the supercharger and related bits played nice, especially in the front, as compared to the SRT or RT without that extra weight.
Also, I'd love a definitive answer if they would impact towing capacity.

Sorry guess the dealer put them on.

Or they didn't. Both the Mopar exhaust and springs were to be dealer installed, but apparently quite a few dealers didn't, and a fair number of them were delivered without them installed. Some people didn't realize this until months or possibly years later, and trying to go back and get the parts after the fact from the dealer was quite the challenge.

Thats crap. So many dealers suck.

They are slightly stiffer, therefore you question should be whether the computer controlled dampers/shocks can handle that .I have no scientific data but a guestimate would be yes as the SRT shock of old are similar.
