suspension
 
okay so i bought a truck about a month ago and the ther day i went to go hook up my 24 foot box trailer to help someone move. when we got to his house i unhookeed it to go get some breakfast. when we got back we loaded up then hooked it back up. problem is the truck had been lowered 2 inches in the back to level the truck. the tires tucked up too tight. so i went to my tire guy and he said it sat down so far it pinched the dual pipes coming over the rear end and broke two hangers:censored:. when i went out there to look at it i noticed that it was missing two leaf springs:censored:. that is how the guy lowered it:censored:. whats the best way to get my strength back but still have it ride level and look good?

I think lowered trucks use drop shackles to gain the lowering in the rear. This maintains the factory pack, just changes its mounting location to gain the height difference. But I don't own a lowered truck so someone w/ one would probably know more.
