Default Lowering my rear end???

Hey guys,

Im thinking about lowering my rear end to match the front. I have a 2006 Ram 1500 4WD. I've looked around online and I cant find anything. Maybe you guys could help out. Thanks.

I did it on my 4x4 and had the overload springs removed for the full 2" drop.
