2" drop is the longest you have before you run into the bottom of the bed on the 04-08 trucks

Patman is correct. You need to use another method to drop. I had shackles on and it sucked do to the fact it never sat level.

I might have to go with a leaf kit then. I want it to sit level, especially when I get my new wheels and tires.

Eibach makes a 3" leaf. They may be stiffer than you're wanting though.

Check the fine print, that's for one leaf spring pack, not two.

Three inches in the back won't quite level it out. It's close but noticeable, IMO.
