Question Want to level my truck: lower the rear...how?

I really don't haul anything with my truck, don't really tow anything with it either but of course when I need to do those things it would be nice to be able too but I would like to lower the rear end of my truck so my truck sits level, I thought about taking out the helper spring but that would only leave me with 2 leafs and not much hauling I am afraid, so what do you guys suggest?


PLMK, thanks.

lowering shackles, tons of companies make them, they are all the same and will lower your truck 2 inches in the back

Many companies make drop shackles. I have GF shackles. They came with the tapered shims.

Yeah GroundForce comes with the shims, go for that kit. You can pick it up for about a hundred bones.

Here's a link, although it says they're for 04-06 trucks. Might want to look into that, because I thought that 04-08 were all pretty much the same.

Thanks, I got the groundforce thru eBay and Jeggs for a few $ cheaper, I saw those cheap china shackles on ebay too but passed, they may work the same but I rather a name brand product.
