well on mine i did a rear end flip which lowered it 5". you can buy a kit but it is a waste of money, i found a kit in my Truckin mag. and it was like $69.instead i got some 1/4" plate which will go in between the rear end and the leafs. i welded the plate to the rear end tube. i bought new u-bolts also. it saved a lot of money rigging up my kit, and it has everything the real kit has. for the front end i found i-beams made by DJM. on mine i am going to get bags. i think that would be the easiest way. if you do the rear end flip it will ride a lot rougher. my rear end it riding on the frame bumpers. i still need to c-notch the frame.

Another place to check out is AIM industries for your dropped beams, also if fabricating is not your specialty you can opt to purchase the rear flip kit with the "C- notch" a little more money between 199.00 an 279.00, but everything is made and ready to bolt in, I have done both ways, the c-notch kit eliminates the time to make one.
There is nothing wrong either option, good luck!
