I assume you mean the front suspension and not the front clip by way of hood/fenders/grille. They sell lowering springs for the front, but maybe you know that. But compound the springs with moving the coil supports up higher on the frame, re-drilling the holes(cut off rivets) weld a block on top of the frame to hold the weight of the top springs, readjust your steering and maybe you'll have what you want. Not a guarantee though.
