Yeah.. put 1" spacers(stack of really large washers) below the coil springs.. actually did this on our Ranger. Of course you could also lower the shock towers an inch by simply drilling new mounting holes.

P.S. On second thought lowering the shock towers may not be that simple, I seem to remember there being bolts on the bottom of the frame too.
