If you are looking to do it yourself, I just saw Brothers Trucks came out recently with a slide in frame shortening kit, in my opinion is straightforward for the home mechanic.
Good point (and welcome) - Sam Memolo's garage did a show on that kit and it was pretty straightforward. I forget the name of the show, it's morphed over the years - used to be the shadetree mechanic, then he was on two guys until kevin byrd and the other dude took it over, now he has his own show. It's really a 25 minute advertisement with 5 minutes of more advertisements, but occasionally (as was the case in this episode) there is something worthwhile.
