If you put on the helper springs on the front. It will work as a traction bar and drop it some where between .5 and 1 inch. I'm sure you are all looking for more than that but it may help. It's amazing what a inch looks likes

De-arching the spring is basically reshaping it to any height you
choose. A suspension shop can do this for you. The spring rate remains
the same as stock.

There is no room under the bed for a 2" shackle drop. To even get to 1 1/2" you would need to grind the bed somewhat.

i called streetbeat customs and they have 2x4 inch drop but thats alitle too much for what im looking for. i just want the rear to be even with the fronmt. and there kit cost 800 shipped which is too much for me right now. i ask most shops around here to see if they do that dearching and no ones does it. not yet at least.

Call 4x4 shops. They'll know. I had mine dropped 2 1/2" rear and the front is 1".
I had the kit you were talking about and it sucked bad. Worst ride
ever! The drop was more like 4 1/2" rear and 1" front. The back sat a
lot lower than the front.

I want to level the rear also but not sure how to do it without cutting or huge dollars.
