2 inch drop alignment issue???

I am looking to drop my 05 SCrew 2/2 or 3/3. I still want a factory rake but just lower than it sits. I use the truck mainly for towing about 4500 lbs...so I don't want the back to look too low with the trailer on it. What is the easiest/best way to do a 2/2 or 3/3 drop or can you even? Also will I have alignment issues after doing this?

Thanks for any help you can give

Jeff

Is yours a 2/3 or 2/4? It looks really good but I am thinking if I go down too far in the back it will look hella-funny when I tow?

I ended up using the belltech 2/3 theres still 3.5 inch gap in the rear with 32 inch tall tires, I have had it weighed down with a bed full of snow, didn't do to bad

heres how the 2/3 beltech looks with 275/45-22's

What about the rear pinion angle. If you drop the rear about 2" to level it did you need to change the pinion angle.

Some are hit and miss with the new body i got lucky and no shims and no vibe at all but im thinking of going to the 4" in the rear to have it all level and not just a raked look
