lowering a duallie

I dont want to lose any hauling ability, just want to lower the back end so the truck is level. even with the slide in camper...it still has a rake to the front. plus it would make it easier to load/unload the camper. I do enjoy some easy street light fights, and hauling the ole bronco to events.

I've looked at the axle and springs...looks like longer/stronger shackles would be the easiest fix while dropping the back end down. I also have(never installed) brand new firestone 3500 air bag system for the duallie. What have you guys done in the pass. Its a standard cab long bed duallie 3500?Thanks,Chuck

try taking the blocks out under the springs and as long as you dont remove the main spring you shouldnt need the bags but if you have them use them.
