I've been doing some research and looking thru lowering parts, but I can't find anyone that has something to lower the rear end 1 or 2 inches. Will shorter shocks work by themselves. I've looked at modifying the leafspring holder at the back.........

I just want to get my truck closer to level. I'm not going to be carrying much of a load so it doesn't have to be perfectly level, and I'm wondering about air-filled shocks....?

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!!
Ed

2" drop shackles will level it but it's in the wrong forum

ive heard of people removing some of the leafs in the leaf pack. makes a softer ride and lowers the bed considerably depending on how many you remove... it lessens the weight you can carry but it is free...

Couldn't you flip the hanger for about 1" drop? IMO...get the front up.
