lowering a 94 4wd.

The guy I bought my truck from put 3 in of body lift on it. I like the way it looks in the front

But the rear looks stupid seeings o
How there is 8 inches between tire and fender.. needless to say
Clears 33s no problem.. but I want to lower the rear to eliminate some of the gap. I can't find lowering springs for this thing anywhere. Anyone know where I can get the stuff to do this?

throw some hydros on it, then you can raise and lower as you want, take the body lift off

if it has shackles just get smaller ones or take off the 3in and go down to maybe a 2in or even just a suspension lift

Can't really give a suggestion without pics.
Your avatar doesn't have 8" between the fender and tire so I'm not visualizing it.

I would start by removing the body lift.... Although a lot of people feel its the best and safest lift out there. Otherwise, bag it. Then, like someone else posted, you could raise or lower the truck as desired.

You guys are ALL DUMB. he just wants to lower the rear...
all he has to do is mount the rear leafs under the axle like they do on 2wd pickups.

Most of us are annoyed that our rear is lower... Am I missing something?

Weird thought,, and please let me know if its not ok. But what about raising the front to match the rear. That would level it out without lowering anything. K this is were it gets extreme,, stay with me now,, put the front axle in the back, then take the front axle and put it in the back, then once the fronts in the back take the rear aaaaand put the front axle in the back thats should hsdkhdsjhff,, that dhfojss, djijdsf
