I've been searching for ways to level my truck out as well. I'vebeen looking at lowering the rear by 2", but have run into many road blocks because of the style shackle Dodge uses. Most say that 3/4" to 1" is more realistic with shackles. I didn't want to raise the front, so I've even looked at new springs from Eibach and Eaton. The Eibach's claim is a 3.8" drop, and Eaton's says 2" drop over stock. I just found tonite a shackle from Moe's Performance. does anyone have any experience with this shackle, or anything else that might lower the rear a couple of inches? I'm not looking for a flip kit that will drop the bottom out.

Your '04 4x2 uses a coil over front suspension, unlike the '02-'05 4x4s which use a torsion bar front suspension. Coil spacers are very inexpensive, fairly easy to install, provided you rent a spring compression tool from your local auto parts store, and will give your truck a nice level stance.They will also maintain the ride characteristics of the stock setup, as you are just puttinga small spacer on top of the spring. It is also important to understand that you may find it neccessary to replace your stock shocks up front with a slightly longer model as it is possible to "bottom out" the stock shocks onsome severe bumps, some find that the stockers are not quite long enough for the extra height of the springs with the spacers.
