lowering kit?
 
After looking for a short wide bed truck for awhile, I ended up with a really nice original 97 stepside. It has wide 15's on it and I intend to keep them and Ive never been into a lot of lowering (although I did lower my 68 2 1/2 /4) I am going to leave the front at stock height but I want to lower the rear a couple inches so that it sits level---Now, finally to my question---Can anyone recommend which lowering method/kit to get for the rear--and who from??? thanks guys.

if just leveling, look into a drop shackle. worst case, if you look under the rear at the rear leaf mount, there is a bed brace running above....some require notching a small section.

I purchased a 3/4 lowering kit from Accessory Partners LLC out of Arizona, great kit and the BEST customer service, actually called them and spoke to a human right away, he walked through exactly what I wanted and he shipped it next day, $225 for 3" front coils, 2" drop shackles and 2' drop hangers. in the process of installing now....

My buddy put 2" shackles on his truck and he had to notch out the cross sill brace.
