If no more than that i would throw some shackles on it. That would be your best bet.

Re: lower rear 2 inchs.

In general, lowering shackles are cheap and easy way to go. Before you jump in to it take a look under your truck. There is a cross brace under the bed that "might" need to be notched. Since there were two lengths of leaf springs, and you didn't mention your wheelbase its hard to say for sure if you will have this concern.
