the front will be easy the rear will take some work.you will have to take leafes out and do a lowering shackel. cut your spring 1 coil in front or use half ton stuff

yeah i was just going to do 2'' drop coils and 2'' drop shackles in the front for 4 inches total. but the back was where i was stuck.

I just ordered 2" shackles and 2" hangers for the back of mine, if I need more I'm just going to pull a leaf spring or two. If you really need the payload throw a set of bags on the rear. You can always make a flip for the rear pretty easy, or I think the 1/2 ton stuff might work?

There are several options for the front, I'm going with 3" spindles (western chassis) and if it's not low enough I'll cut 1/2 coil or buy some drop coils.
