    No such thing. Why would you want to decrease the capability of your truck? If anything buy a spacer for the front to bring it up to level it. That’s the normal route.

    200# of sandbags would be a start. Adjust from there.

    Actually, you'll like the ride quality too.

    Keep in mind it's a delicate balance. Too much and the front starts to rise.

    Level it from the front. 5100's on the first notch. Simple.

    I bet you could pull the overload spring from the bottom of the leaf pack and drop the rear some.

    Pull another leaf if it isn't low enough.

    *But as you pull leafs you'll lose hauling capacity.

    And I think it'd look good lowered in the rear. If I didn't go off road as much as I do then I'd consider a good option to level out the truck.

    To be honest one of the only things about my new SR 2wd that I don't like is how they raised these things for 3rd gen.
    If I wanted something higher I would have gotten the 4x4 model.
