I think he means to lower the back to level it with the front. I know theres 2" drop shackles out there. Frenchy has them I think. But since I lift to level, I have no idea.

i went with the springtech suspension lowering shakles to take the rake out of the back, got them off ebay for 45.00, real easy to install. heres an old pic to see it sitting level

its adjustable. the big drop is 1.75 and the other is 1 inch. theres two holes drilled. as far as handling it is great.

Maybe this is a dumb question but why is everyone wanting to level out the truck? what does it really do...and I'm starting to do off roading and i need those couple extra inches to keep from bottoming out the rear end and possibley smashing my side exhaust pipe!
