Anyone ever lower just the rear of their truck?

I want to get rid of that jacked up rear end look but don't want to lower the whole truck as I will probably do some towing with it sooner or later. Just want to get it level! How can it be done and do any of you guys have pics of this? Thanks

If you don't already have HD coils in the front you can install those. But it will raise the front up to do so. There again it might have the HD coil springs from the factory. I have regular front coils that are very worn out. Im soon replacing them with a set of HD coil springs from Moog.

HD coils springs will level it out if you dont have a HD rear end as well.. it levelled mine out almost perfect.
