She should look a bit better with another 1"-2" drop but I'm debating shooting the discs black.

gloss black

[CoolV300C]

leave 'em.

[BadAssPerformance]

They look like they are going 200mph sitting still!

[cordes]

+1 to what JT said. I would leave them for sure. I love those caps.

[GLHNSLHT2]

Don't use the brakes too much, with no air to them they're gonna get hot fast.

[gvare001]

I say leave them too. They look sweet the way they are.

Brakes???

[turbovanman²]

Brakes???

Yes, they will trap the heat in behind the caps, and kill the rotors asap if your a heavy braker or going down a long, steep hill, towing even.

[shelbyES]

Those look sweet like the Mercury in Cobra! I'd leave 'em.

[TurboTurismo]

Leave them alone.. they look great the way they are

Thanks, I'm going to leave em. Next step is the drop and decal removal!

I am prepared for the brake issue actually, I just don't use em too often
The foglights are dead so I'm going to pull em and run 3" ducts to the rear of the discs. Drums will be a little easier as the scoops can get hidden. We only put about 8k miles per per year on her and you can't tow with R/Ts so it should work well.

Why cant you tow with an R/T? Heck I towed my Spirit R/T on a trailer from NC to NV thru the mountains with a V6 Dak both ways with no issues, and the truck had 220k on it. I also tow now with a V6 5 Speed Dak and a 4.7 Durango with no issues. Is there something I should know?

The wheels look cool, leave them. Also I did a 3-4 drop on my Durango and it looks great. Depending on how tall your tires are, dpeends on how far you can go. I got my rear wing and my SRT hood will be in tomorrow!!

Post pics when you finish the drop.

Becaue of the suspension set up they were only rated to tow 2000lbs from the factory. Dodge did a buyback in 99(I think) because initial sales info stated they were good to 4k.

Tires are 28" in the rear 27" in the front, she's already down 2" from a stock Dak so I'm thinking another 1"-2" should be nice.

Exactly what I thought when I saw them! That car was awesome. +1 to leaving them as is!

[Rooster]

I would leave a R/t decal some wear as long as it is an org rt

The R/T comes from the factory with a lowered suspension and was always only rated to tow 2,000 lbs. That's why when I bought my Dakota I went with a reg. cab 4.7L Sport with a 5 speed manual and 3.92 gears. I can walk away from a stock R/T and still tow 6,000 lbs. Don't need no stinkin' lowered suspension!

[1984rampage]

Ditch the discs.

I agree

[jb07]

who cares about brakes flintstones it, leave them
