Default Lowering the Rear of My truck?

I have been looking for a Kit to Lower the Rear end of my truck, it is a 05 Ram QC and cannot find a lowering kit for it. I tried one of those universal kits but the U-bolts weren't wide enough to go around the axle. I dont wanna lower the front anymore and I only wanna go like 2"-3". I have found tons of kits for the front and rear but Dont wanna do that. Any Ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm trying to find the same, either drop the rear(should be cheap) or raise the front, can't seem to find a full "kit" for either?

i saw some lowering shackles on ebay... Shackle lowering/lift kits are very reliable... having a shorter shackle will make it ride a tiny bit rougher.. but will lower it a couple inches.

take a look at this: http://www.ultimateautoaccessories.c...Suspension.htm

I rec air suspension because you lower for best look/ride then pop it up if you need to haul or go offroad.

I used these leaf springs. They dropped my RC an even 3" in the rear.

The best way to lower the rear of your truck is to us lowering shackles in the rear and remove the overload spring..By doing both of those your trucks will be very close to being level...

I order my shackles from here...http://slammed1.com/products.html
