If it's a 4x4, can't you just remove the 2" blocks in the rear? If it's a 4x2, then I like the Ground Force shackle kit, for a 2" drop.

You should have some 2" blocks in the rear. A lot of guys get the ubolts for a 4x2 and remove the blocks.

Remove the blocks and get 2wd U bolts and you'll be set. U bolts are much cheaper than a shackle kit. Heck if you even have a 2wd friend you could both swap even and give him your blocks.
