It's probably shackles and hangers for the rear

4" rear is shackles/hanger.  It will require removing the rivet holding the hanger on.  Use either a grinder or air hammer.

I can get you a 2.5/4 kit for your truck for $445.99 + shipping.

Air Hammer might be a bit easier then the grinder. I used a grinder on mine and it took a bit to grind. What I ended up doing was grinding a good flat spot on the rivet and then drilling it out. Went trough a few bits, but got er done!

Chris, does the kit you sell come with shocks also?

The 2.5/4 kit uses stock shocks, they are not included.
