Dig the side pipes!! I don't care what people think, they're still cool.

I think what you want is to cut a coil in front and use a 2" shackle in back. That will lower both ends about 2" but the rear will still be higher than the front by an inch or so. Then use a taller tire in the back, maybe a 255/70 in back and a 235/70 in front. Raising the back with a block is going to look silly IMO.

Re: Lets see pics raked,lowered and satin paint jobs

for a gift My buddy borrowed my truck and had A local muffler shop build the true duel side pipes, no cat no muffler nothing.. he used 3 inch pipe and i wrapped the pipes myself. I did not care about burning my leg but my girl at the time did haha
