okay to get a 1/2" drop do the following:
1. go to homebase or lowes or somewhere like that and by about 10-15 cement mortar bricks.
2. wrap the bricks in something as to give a fluffy outside texture, such as carpet.
3. this is where you can get creative. place the bricks in some artistic fashion in the back of your bed and some up in the cab. use tiedowns in the back.
4. measure the ride hieght of before and after you place the bricks.
5. add more bricks as needed to gain the 1/2" drop.
your very welcome for this well guarded info, contact me if you need more quick fixes!

get some used r/t coils. Then use a 2inch block in
the rear to level her off. Shouldnt cost you more
than 150 buck
