lowering the truck

Hi ,
We are both retired now,and our truck is a 2006 2WD,screw.
I need to get it down a few Inches to help my wife to get in it(yes I have running boards)
Any ideas?
I looked under the rear and was hoping to just use blocks but the axle is on the bottom of the spring so that won't work.
Lowering progressive springs for the front,or cut a coil off?
Any one drop there truck?
Thanks Russ
