If it is 4x4 raise the front. If it is 4x2 then lower the rear. A 2 inch drop will never be noticed beside the fact your truck is level like it should be.

I'm thinking of dropping the back on my FX2 two inches as well. Next year I'll get the struts to drop the front one inch. I will be using the Beltech stuff on mine.
Truck U did a program on just that recently.
