Lowering the rear end

I recently purchased A 2002 ranger its 2wd and it has some sort of lift on it, I think its the fabteck one but im not sure. I was wondering how I would go about lowering the back end 1"-2" beacuse it seems like its higher than the front. Also I dont have too much experience with trucks so sorry in advance for the stupid question.

easiest way is to put bags of concrete in the bed.. but if it has a block 2" take it out.. 4" find someone who wants a lift and trade them for factory block if they have it

hanger flip is for lowered guys if you want to leave the truck lifted i wouldnt do it.. post some pics of the truck, your truck will eather have block to lift it but you said you dont see one or and Add a Leaf pack OR a shackel lift.. we need to figure out what one you have try and post a pic of the rear suspension and we can give you the right advice to correct the problem..
