It is possible, you wont know until you check the frame numbers. Are the rivets correct on the VIN TAG? More pics of the interior and under the hood would help. The big No No for me is the drums/6 lugs 2WD. I have never met anyone who loved drum brakes so much that they took off disks to install drums.

To answer your other question, you can get drop coils (if it has coils in the rear) to get what your looking for in the back, they also have drop coils for the front, they have kits to change it to spindles/disks for six lugs. Just remember when you start dropping the stance to keep an eye on the rest of the suspension for changes.
