I just installed these PRG shackles. Very subtle, slightly over an inch drop, you really don't directly notice it, it just takes that nose dive look away. However, I'm a 2007 and I hear the 2008's ride a little more level form the factory. You really can't do any more than these shackles do, you are approaching the bottom of the bed with these. Here's a shot with the shackles in the fully lowered position. Easy to install, by the way. Just jack up one side at a time to just where the tire is barely touching the ground, pop off two bolts, slap new shackle in, move to other side, repeat.

IIRC, PRG called BS on the Ebay 2" drop shackles because you would need to cut a hole in the bed to clear them if the shackles were long enough to provide a full 2" drop. I wouldn't recommend just pulling a leaf as you will probably get axle wrap from hell.

Here is a picture of mine with PRG shackles set to the lowest setting, a leaf removed, and the Roadmaster Active Suspension installed. The shackles and the leaf brought it down... and the RAS brought it back up about 3/4" AND gave me back some of that capacity lost by removing the leaf. It also acts like both traction and sway bars. Ohhh... and change out those lame rear shocks!!!

I also brought the front down a tad with the adjustable coilovers.

You can do just the shackles, but I don't think they will buy you more than 3/4" - 1" by themselves. Bottom line... there is no "easy button" for this one.

Good luck to you.
