Lowering a 2010 Lariat 4x4

Anybody know of a way to lower these freekin trucks so you can actually reach into the bed and use it? Just bought a new Lariat a week or so ago and would really like to be able to access the bed without those hokey looking side steps. Maybe one of these days ford will wise up and get back to making a truck that you can use without all these add on steps and tailgate handles other bull**** stuff. JMO

you should be able to take the blocks out from under the rear leaf springs to lower it a bit, not sure if that would be enough for your liking or not. if it isn't i'm sure you can find some lowering springs for the rear end as well as the front end.

I personally like them sitting a little higher, but to each his own.

Maybe adding a set of air bags but I'm not sure how much or if that would even work.

just take the rear block out. ford put in a factory lift block. i think its 1 3/4" block.
or you could buy the 2" drop shackles for the rear.
