Default Drop the rear?
I have a 06 ram quad cab, and I want to know if there is away to drop the rear of the truck, and make it level? I don't want to spend alot of money on this. Give me some ideas!

I thought about the drop shackles, but everything I have read says they might only drop it about an 1", and I need alittle more than that.

I got a solid 2" drop on mine if not a little more(maybe depends on the manufacturer)and another 2+" with the hangers.

What brand did you use? Where did you get them, and how much were they?

A cheater way to do it would be to relocate the rear leafs from the top of the axle to the bottom...

I would not call that a cheater way,it is a good way,just have to pay attention to axle to frame clearance.
I see you notched your frame,did you make the parts or a kit?
