So I have an 05 hemi 2500 4x4 and hate climing in and out of it to put cylinder heads and things in and out of the bed and my pee pee is not so small that I need a truck 47 feet in the air, can I just pull those silly factory spacers out of the rear leaf spring packs to lower it an inch or two? What about the front, what is the best way to lower it a little to match?

Yeah you can on the back. I did on my 06 3500. The front, not so sure. Might have to try a few different springs. I know there are a fair amount of diesel drag trucks that are 4wd and lowered might want to try and see what they did. You can always cut a coil out of it.

No idea on the front? What about a pair from say a hemi regular cab 3/4 ton? Would they let my 4 door set just a little lower or are they the same rate and length?

Can you post a pic so I can see the ride height?
