I guess if you wanted to get even lower than that, lowering shackles and removing some leaves would do the trick.

2nd the shackle kit, that should get you tween 1 1/2- 2 " on drop. If you need more, 2 or 3 leafs off the bottom should work......keep the flat helper if you plan on loading the truck from time to time. Other options would be to de-arch the springs(spring shop job), or move the spring perches(labor intensive on your part). Just look into your budget, & think about how bad you need to "skinn them knuckles"  crazyL
