how do i lower stock 47-53?

i know you can buy mono leafs or leafs, but is there an inexpensive way to get a mild drop without buying new leafs, i have straight axle still and don't plan on changing anytime real soon because i don't drive it often. i'd just like to drop it a little and put on some steelies and wide whites.

these trucks don't need vacuum gauges cause they don't suck!
two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left
all i want is a little more than i'll ever get
it's better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6

Any good spring shop. Look for a place that does trucks.

A spring or frame shop should be able to do it.
