Back in the day, I heated up the coil to drop the front and de-arched the rear spring.

I took my truck to a spring shop and they did it. You could also look for a flip kit, its a lowering block that put the axle above the leaf spring. Check this out....... http://therangerstation.com/tech_library/Drop.html |
