Default leveling the back of the truck to match front height

I have been looking for some shackles to try and lower the rear about 2 inches to match the front height. but once i saw the stock shackles there doesn't seem to be much room to do that, has anyone had any success doing this?

I installed 2" drop shackles on mine and also removed the overload springs. It is within a 1/2" of being level.

I have the DJM's but the Ground Force's are a lot better quality and sturdier, but also a little more expensive.
