I know it's probly been discussed a lot but im just too lazy to look through all 120 pages.
Looking to level my 05 1500 QCSLT 2wd.
I don't want to remove the O/L cause I haul my bikes often.
Right now im looking at some 2" drop shackles, but I know it will still have some rake in it.
Any suggestions as to what I would need to be level, will it effect the ride, and rough cost?
Thanks.

Here's a open question to all of those who have removed their O/L springs. Is there anything you can't do with the spring removed that you did before removing the springs?
Just for the record, I never haul dirt, gravel, fire wood or pulled 20+ foot travel trailers. But I do pull an enclosed 8x12 motorcycle trailer , home garbage, lawn mowers and tools without a problem. When I removed my o/l springs it looked like they had never touched the spring pack. So you see where this is going. Do we normally ever use the O/L springs? My guess is no.

^^^^^\^you sir, are correct. If u are like me, n 90% of the population of sport truck drivers, u do NOT ever use ur truck as a truck. Lol. I say install one of two parts for the leveling task. Either one will work. A set of drop shackles for the rear, or a set of 2" lift blocks for the front end. However, if ur like me, youll wanna go lower. It's called "acrophobia", the fear of heights.
