I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado, it has 22x9.5 wheels on it, can someone help me find a 2 or 3 inch lowering kit for just the rear? I do not want to lower the front.

www.summitracing.com has lowering leaf springs for the rear

or i would buy drop shackles from http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts.aspx/partfamilyid/1748/subcategoryid/373/categoryid/30

Leaf springs are bolt on and cost about 350 dollars

drop shackles need a little drilling and minor fabrication but cost 50 dollars

for your teuck a 2" drop shackle can be found here

i would just say do a flip kit if you springs are on top of you axel just measure from one side of the axel to the top of the spring pearch if you got a welder and a cut off wheel it cost nothing

I dropped my front 3" and the rear 4" using a lowering kit. I'd have it done right with leaf springs to ensure its leveled and doesn't hurt the suspension.

i would just use a set of lowering shackles. you can order them online or even pick universal fit ones up at your local parts store. i would get bell tech myself from stylin concepts for around 50.00 i did not have to drill on my truck just took the weight off the springs and took the bolts out removed the shackle and replaced it with the new ones and used my old bolts. lol, jd
