2" Rear Drop

My 2002 dually 2wd is in need of a 2" drop shackle for the rear to bring it a tad more level. Anybody know off hand where to get a 2" drop shackle? Its harder to find than what I expected? Any links or suggestions would be welcome. I know most people here lift their trucks but I'm the opposite, I like it low and aggressive. Thanks again..........Maxx

Nope no blocks. Thought about bringing the front up but changed my mind as I do like them lower. Plus I assume lowering shackles are a tad less expensive than raising the front up? I seen some shackles on Ebay which I think will do the job but not sure. I have a question sent off to the vendor about fitment. I also seen DJM had a 1" lowering but thats not enough for my taste. Had a 2" drop shackle for the 250 but it did not mention the F350 so I assumed it was different? Thanks Guys. still looking!...Maxx

the only concern i would have is do you have overload springs? i think using a shackle drop would put the spring close to or on the stops.
