I am not sure how low you want to go but you can't get any easier than loosening the torsion bar bolts to lower the front end.

If you are going to change it to disc brakes find a 1991 suburban donor, you get the whole disc brake set up and the front crossmember all you would need to keep it 6 lug would be new disc brake rotors (integral hubs from a 7800 lb burb.....only cost $35.00 each.....good luck....I also used the engine, trans, wiring harness, fuse panel, tilt wheel, power brakes, and power steering from my donor, total cost 1100.00.
