It's dropped around 4" or 5" in front and around 6" in back. Unfortunately it been done with cut springs by PO. Going that low in front using all spring really reduces suspension travel and causes bump steer. Using lowered spindles gives you 2" more travel and brings the steering arms more parallel to the ground reducing bump steer. Drop spindles come in 2"-2.5" drops. Most will move your wheels out .75" per side unless you get modular spindles that only move them out about .25" per side. In the back you might consider lowering blocks if you decide to lower it more.
Here is some info on the blocks:
