Lowering kits??

I did what alot of people did to lower my truck, yanked out the overload spring, and relocated the blocks to on-top of the remaining springs. But its not quite level enough for me.. Has anyone installed a lowering kit on their truck? I only wanna bring the rear down about 3 inches, that should put it about level with the front. Any help would be great. Thanks guys

On my mega I didnt have the spacers under the spring pack and I dont want to take out the overload on the bottom of the pack either.
Im working on getting a set of shackles that will drop the rear 1.25" and 2.5"s, ill post some pics soon...

Im tired of the back end sitting 5-6"s higher than the front:p

They have 3 sets of holes, stock, 1.25" and 2.5"s.
Don Thuren makes them for 4wds and basically the shackles/hangers for the 2wds/4wds are the same just flipped over. So offers lift for 4wds and lowers 2wds(if they fit ok)
Im going to get them ordered this week and he said they take two weeks to get, ill try to get them in as soon as I get them....

Make sure of the diameter of the hole in the shackle is large enough for the bolts on your truch.I had bought a set hoping it would work but the bolts on my truck were larger than the shackle
