lowering rear to level

[cmc76]

i have an 04 z71. i keep the stock tires on in the winter, and have some 20" i run in the summer.
i like the front gap as it is. what can i do to close up the gap on the rear. id like to level, but looking to keep it simple and not have to do an elaborate suspension retrofit.

ideas?

Heat or cut the coils.

i did that on another vehicle years ago. thanks for the option, but im looking for something more exact.
maybe there are just shorter coils to accomplish this

You can get a 2" drop spring from Belltech

belltech site came up with no matches for a lowering spring?
should i select a different trim level?

don't heat em!

If you cut em, cut em slow. Heating them up will change the spring rate.

You could try getting some stock NON z71 coils. That should put you close to level. The z71 coils are taller and stiffer.

I was being cheeky! Ain't nothin' like a good old "barrio drop". I'm even Mexican and I think that's hilarious.
