Default Lowering the rear of a Ram

Just looking for a few opinions on who makes the best lowering kit for an 03 Ram. All I want to do is lower the back a little to make it level. I guess it just takes shackles??? Thanks in advance for the replies!

or check out www.3rdstrike.biz I ordered some belltech 2 inch lowering shackles from there for a decent price. The guy who runs that business is a stand up guy too.

I went with the 2" shackles and it lowered about 1 1/2 inches. I still haul stuff and did'nt want to go too low. Be sure to measure before and after to get a good reading on how much it actually lowered.

TravTex, did you use the DJM shackles or another brand? I'd like to lower my Quadcab a little in the back but not too much. What you did sounds about what I'd like.

I had put some 2" lowering shackles from Ground Force on my '04. It didn't drop the rear of the truck an inch. They were inexpensive but didn't lower the rear enough to make a difference. Plus they squeeked [:@]. I also would like to level the truck without lowering the front.
