Lowering 95' f150 xlt single cab short bed

I am looking to lower my rear a little. Im not looking for a low rider or for something that looks rediculous but to even it out with the front. I do not want to lift the front to even it out i want to drop the back. Any idea of what to do. i dont mind lower from 1 and rear 2 if i have to but not sure what brands, how much etc.

Do you have that on your truck? It looks fairly level. Do you think it would look better even lower? Trying to get an idea of what it will look like. I also have running boards on my truck, i have only seen them 1 other time in past 3 years i have owned the truck. Same with the rim style.

The 2" front and 4" rear is that on the green one in your profile pic? If it is what size tires are you running and what size rims? want to know how it will look on mine comparing the tire size i can gauge that better.
