either lowering shackles, drop blocks, or eibach has a set of new rear leaf springs that lowers it like 2" i think...
i ordered a set of ground force lowering shackles, which will be here tuesday. they are the easiest thing to install.

Yeah, drop shackles.

I have the ground force 2" drop shackles, they drop the rear around 1.5".

for the shackles... all you need is a torque head for the bolt... not sure on the size star or size wrench for the nut quite yet. and you need jacks... easy install. you could check out ebay, DJM website, ground force website or go to a local truck shop

check summitracing.com. Anything 05 and back will not fit your truck. I have a 06 quad cab and if says it fits only an 06 and above ITS THE TRUTH. I ordered 3 or 4 different items before i finally got the one i wanted.
