Message:
This has prob been asked countless times before but.....

I measured the spaces between wheel and well and got 5" front and 7" back.
All I want is to drop the back 2" to level it.
I would like to get lower leafs if I can find them in 2" but would like to know if lowering the back will raise the front?

Any ideas?

Blocks would be cheaper but what about handling?
If there wouldn't be any dif then I'ld prob go that route.
