Most people use a leveling kit, and raise the front about 2 in., I used shackles on mine though because I was looking for a lower stance.

yeah im looking to bring down the back (more of a street look)

I went with the drop shackles.

My reasoning was I have the 20 inch rims which I thought are more of a street look vs. raising the front which to me is more of an off road look.

I used the leveling kit and it allowed me to upgrade to 20" rims & tires Terra Grapplers with no rubbing

Here are the pics. Sorry I took so long. It was always too dark for pictures by the time I would get home from work.

Did the job myself. It was not hard at all.

Here's a link that I followed.
