I have a 07 Silverado and I want to drop the rear so it's level with the front but I’m not sure the best way to do it. What would be the best way without affecting the ride?

havent seen a kit to level the truck by lowering, but you can always get the t-bar keys to lift the front level

There's a bracket you can buy or you could fabricate one to flip the leaf springs under the axle.

A set of 2" drop shackles will do the job nicely.

flip kit will drop you down 3-6 inches depending on the stack of leafs.. drop shackles is what you want unless u r lowereing the front and want it level the shackles can only go up to like 3 or 4 inches before it hits the bed

Go with the bell tech if you have a nbs. I got one for 55 bucks took me a hr to install and it dropped the rear at least 5 in. It is the first time i have seen a truck completly level. Just dont forget to take the block out that is on the axel. If you dont take that block out u just get about 2 inches.

I was going to buy the shackles but wasn't sure if it would work. I'll give it a shot as soon as i get the time. Thanks for the info.
