Default Dodge dakota lowering advice.

Ok guys, I really want to lower my 87 dakota just to make it look better than how it is. If you saw this truck lowered from the stock height, what would you think? Good or no?

bags would lay it out more, and I agree with nfuatn.. work within your budget, if you got money for bags do it.. if you want a small drop while you save up, get some spindles, springs, blocks

spindle and springs in the front
block and axle flip in the rear- not sure if the older trucks had the axle on top the leaf springs or under
5-6 drop would look great but so would 3 i guess.
