Default 2004 ram 4inch super lift, how can I lower the back?

On my 04 I have a 4inch super lift with 35x12.50x20s.
I want to "bully dog" the truck a little, I have tightened the rotation bars a little bit. But don't want to effect the ride and I just got an alignment.
Any other options?

You can get lowering shackles. Just don't get the 2nd gen ones because they'll actually raise you up more. But 3rd gen lowering shackles will lower your back end

To each his own, but I'll never get this look with the rear end sagging. I guess it makes sense when you look at how kids wear their pants these days. LOL

I didn't level my truck for 8 years because I didn't want the rear sagging lower than the front when I was towing my RV. Now there are those that want that look all the time, on purpose. Go figure.

On the contrary, my Ram 1500's nose sits about 2" lower than the rear; a leveling kit or a drop shackle would bring this into balance. However, I don't tow anything, so I don't have to worry about rear droop with a trailer.

I'm with you about the kids & their pants lol

After I leveled (before the fabtech) I also tossed in 2 inch rear blocks just so when I had the cap on and the Jet skis it would sit level as opposed to sagging
