03 Ram 1500 Quad Cab need to lower back

I need some help, I have a 03 1500 Quad Cab and the back end is up to high in the air. I would like to level out the truck instead of dropping the front and back together. Any help would be appreciated, i e websites, companies, whatever.

You could install a Ground Force rear shackle kit, which lowers the rear about 1.5" or remove the helper spring.

Have you considered raising the front? There are leveling kits designed just for this which raise the front anywhere from 1 to 3 inches. Daystar offers a kit for your truck which raises the front 1.5" for $77.95. Here it is on JC Whitney: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...X/appId-470934

How much does that shackle run for? I just rebuilt the suspension on the rear of my 1990 D-150 and she sits high now because of the new leaf packs and the extra leaf I put in. I looked for that front lift kit, but the idea of taking the coils apart wasn't too appealing, they're not even a year old yet.

I just checked their website and nothing shows a kit to lower the back. Could you let me know where you saw the kit it would be greatly appreciated.

I thought of raising the front but that would make it a bit to high for my liking. Thanks for the ideas.
