Either bring the back down a few inches or the front up a few. If you lift the front...look for bigger tires to get a nice rugged look out of it. Or you can stay with the stock size tires, lower the back and have the warlock or Lil' Red look!! either way I WANT PICTURES!!! (in reply to DirtySouthRam) Post #: 2

Here are some ways you can lower it, put your rear end over the leaf springs in the rear, should lower it about 3-4 inches, you will need to do a bit of welding and modifing, but i have seen it done and it looks pretty good man.
