Question Lower a 64'

Just got a 64, and I want to lower it. It has 4 corner leafs, does any one make a kit, or can I take out a leaf? Any suggestions would be great.

This is my answer for the front...

For the rear you could C-section the frame and relocate the diff to the top of the leaf spring. Several companies off a kit for this.

you can use a drop axil and flip the rear are the two cheapest ways to acomlish a lower. But how much do you want to lower the truck, do you want it in the weeds or just a mild drop. A front end swap is the way to go for a big drop. I used a volare donnor and cut out the solid axil, then did the flip on the rear end. I have not placed the body back on the frame but If my calculations are correct I got about 6 inches of drop in the front.
