You weren't kidding, that is SUPER clean. Yea, only 4wd versions of these trucks have torsions, we have coils. You either need to cut them or buy some drop coils or spindles. And get an alignment afterward

You can cut them yourself if you have the tools. Take them out and put them in a vice and cut them with an angle grinder is how I did it. One full coil from the end of the springs is about a 2" drop. You don't HAVE to replace the shocks, but it is definitely recommended. Belltech and Toxic make good drop shocks.

its 2" lower in the front stock, so if you want it level what ever you lower it in the front it needs to be lowered 2" more in the back.
