Default Leveling Drop, Know a good one?

I'm interested in Leveling-Down the back of my 03 QC. I want it to be leveled out but I dont want to go 2"/4". Is there a product out there for me? Has anybody else got experience with this? Recommendations needed.

They do make leveling kits for our trucks, but I think most of them raise the front, not lower the rear.

...go drop shackles...brings the rear down 1.5 to 2"...an makes it handle better too... I use the GroundForce Shackles... you can get the from Brian McClure of Slammed1 suspensions. he's the resident expert on some dodge forums when it comes to leveling/drops for our trucks...

I used the DJM suspension drop shackles from www.stylinconcepts.com. 50 bucks and they did a nice job of leveling my truck out.

How is the ride after the install? Did you change shocks? I do a lot of commuting in my truck but I like the lowered rear look. Does the truck sag when the bed is loaded?

no difference in ride quality since you won't be doing anything to the springs themselves. sag under a load will be the same drop difference as stock but from a different starting height. I did notice a slight difference in handling. since the rear end is lower to the ground there is less distance for the body to roll.
