I'm sure if you gave Art Morrison a call, they'd be able to make one for you.  I'm also sure it wouldn't be cheap.

What are you wanting to do to the truck?
Street Strip, lowering, drag race...

Porterbuilt had a front and rear dropmember if you wanting something to lower the truck to the ground

Art Morisson will built a back half along with any frame/suspension company also.

They are NOT cheap by any means.
