How to lower the rear on 06 2500 2wd

I know there had to be some talk about how to do this, I just can't find it. I must be doing something wrong in the search.
Anyway I need to know if there is any way to lower the rear of my 2006 2500 mega-cab 2wd? I still need the ability to tow though. Thanks in advance for any help.

I might be wrong but I don't think the 2WD trucks have the blocks. Unfortunately my truck is not around right now for me to look at.

I just looked at mine and no blocks. Just a spring pack rest over the axle that conforms over the axle and is flat on top for the springs.

I have an '03 and lowered it by moving the blocks.

I see you been here awhile, but first post. Welcome. Go up to the blue bar and click "User CP" and fill in your signature so we know what you have.

Since you lowered your '03, I'm guessin it is a 4wd. What led you to lower it and is the truck any different since you lowered it (besides being lower)?

Mine is lowered using airbagit.com lowering shackles.

Is your truck spring over hanger or spring below hanger? My leaf springs ride above the hanger and I got a good 2-3 inch drop, but I don't think you get as much if you have a spring below hanger truck.

I got an 04 2wd 3500 SRW and it DOES have the blocks. I've removed them on mine as well. No difference in ride and it look ALMOST level.
