Leveling?

OK, so most folks use collars in front to raise the front a bit to level the truck, I get it but I really don't want to make the truck any higher. I have no plans to run 37" tires and also plan to stay with 17" wheels. Is there a way to lower the rear by 3/4"? TIA!

Looks like they are out of stock. These will lower your rear 1"

Stupid question, but is the factory stance off that much? My truck comes in this week so I have not seen it in person to know.

Every truck is a little different but they all seem to range from 1.5-2" higher in the rear.

Ok so the solution if you are not using bigger tires is shackles in the rear? Thanks for the help.

The best solution would really be a set of Deaver +1 leaf springs. Should lower the rear 0.5-1" and improve the ride and help control wheel hop. Of course if you don't want to spend $1300-1500, then shackles would be the next best choice.

I always feel like my truck is sitting real close to level (screw, no mods), so I went out to the garage and measured.

With 1/2 tank of fuel, 40psi in all 4 tires:
Front- 40" @top of wheel well (bottom of flare)
Rear- 41".
Tire squat is identical as close as I can measure.
I really like the level low slung look, which is why I think this truck looks great as is!

1" higher in the rear is about right. If I try to get it closer I know I would mess up and end up high in the front which is unacceptable. This way I can haul whatever in the box without it looking silly.
