Re: lowering ??? I'm new

shackles are exactly what you want. they should even out the truck perfect, if you're springs in the front are sagging, it may still be a tiny bit lower than the rear, but it will look fine.

for shackles you will need to notch the bed support in that area, not really that hard to do, but it is easier if you have the bed removed.
