You have quite a few options and its all according to where you wanna go...
you can get coil spacers from fatbobsgarage that lift the front. Anything over 2" will degredate your ride a little bit but its a cheap way to LIFT the front. That will be about .5" below level if Im remembering right
Then you have drop shackles. That will LOWER your rear end. Easy and cheap. IMO if you arnt going to start lifting it this is the way to go. You will have better handling, and our trucks look better like this if you want a stock-ish height.
After that, as Cali said, you have spindles. These actually lower your front tires which LIFTs your front end. The ones I always recommend are airbagit.com spindles because of their price (they are doestch like the lowering guys) but there are a few more out there, with CST being the most reputable.
With the spacers and spindles you will need an alignment afterwards. All three are driveway projects. Also, death wobble only happens in 2500 4x4s and they have a fix for it now. Some 06-08 4x4s with spacers get a wobble but its not the "death wobble" we are talking about.

IMO. Full size trucks should never go down, only up (Regardless of 2wd or 4wd) Just an opinion of mine i guess (Please dont start a huge fight like the other thread, just stating my opinion on the way big trucks look lifted vs little trucks look lowered). Once i get some money im doing some spacers on my front end to clear some nasty looking 33 Cooper Zeons (i think those are what i was looking at anyways).

Agree, spindles are the best because they do not change the susp geometry nor do you need longer shocks. www.airbagit.com as said above it one of the good places to pick up a set unless someone has some used ones for sell.
