is it 2 or 4 wheel drive? are you looking to level the front or rear? for the rear, lift blocks can be used. cheap and easy. as for the front, depends on how much you need to lift. you can buy torsion bar keys off ebay for pretty cheap. give ya anywhere from 2-4 inches of lift. hope that helps

you need a pair of lowering shackles then. check ebay. you can get anywhere from 1"-4" drop shackles. typically less than $100. easy, easy to put on.

lowering shackles take the place of the stock shackles. no welding or cutting needed. just unbolt stock shackles from spring and frame, bolt in drop shackles. done. seriously as simple as that.

2" is pretty big drop. don't sound like alot, but does make big difference in height.

the drop shackles are shorter so with the axle under the spring it doesn't matter.
