you can get 2" shackles for the rear it will level it just make sure if you have 2 piece drive shaft also get the shims so you will not have any vibration shackles are about 75.00 shims i'm not sure i bought mine from some one on online for 15.00

I am pretty sure you can either remove the spacer block under the rear leafs or replace with a smaller. On my 03 superduty it had 4" spacer blocks
and I replaced them with 2" spacer blocks (blocks were free and a 4 x 4 shop). I had to install airbags then cause when I hauled my 5th wheel the truck squat to much, but when empty it was level and to me looked good.
If you don't haul heavy loads or don't mind a sagging truck when loaded the air bags are not needed.

treid12,
Did you buy that truck new, or did you find it used somewhere. Just wondering why you would want those tires and wheels on a 4x4. Every once in a while i will see 4x4 trucks with low profile street tires and big rims. I guess to each his own, but thats kind weird. It takes the whole "offroad" aspect off of the "offroad" truck.

If it's a 4x4 all you have to do is take the block out. There's two bolts in the leaf spring and then your two u bolt will be an 1 5/8 longer so make sure they will work.
