for about 50 bucks buy some 3 inch drop blocks and re index the torsion bars and shave the bump stops down

nah use your factory shocks for that small of a drop but remove one leaf spring the shortest thin one not the thick one on the bottom and for the front jack the truck up and reindex the torsion bars two teeth and tighten em back up

Which direction for re-indexing the bar? Two teeth clockwise or counter-clockwise?

That looks like the DJM 3" lowering kit (or a copy) that I just put on my truck.
