Re: low rear end

Flip kit and maybe lowering shackles. Keep in mind that lowering just the rear is going to throw your front suspension out of wack. The spindle geometry will be tilted back.

Re: low rear end

^more castor which will help but you may get more dive on hard breaking. if its stock when try drop shackles. they are cheap and easy to change. hardest part is turning the nut of the rusty bolts.
