Dropping the rear 4"

I would like to drop the rear about 4" to give a more level look but I still want it to be a 3/4 ton.. I have no idea of where to start.. It has the leaf springs..

Opinions, thoughts, experiences welcome..

Re: Dropping the rear 4"

You can try a spring-under-axle swap that puts the axle on top the leafs like a car. This is typically good for 3-4 inches. Don't know if there are kits for this, on our truck. But it would keep the 3/4 ton springs with out axle hop from lowering blocks.
