ridetech and belltech come to mind. .I lowered my 85 2" front by cutting a coil and leveled rear by removing a spring...poor man lowering

if you have stock rallys go with western chassis cause the wheel wont rub on the lower control arm and you can use a 2" shackle in the rear

Are you trying to get more or less rake than you currently have? If so you might have to drop the front at least the same amount up front than the rear to remain the same rake as now or go to 5" up front and 4" in the rear for more rake than you have now.

I'm in the same "raked look" group and got a rear tire/wheel set up that has my rear tire 2.5" taller than my front. Front 28" height, Rear 30.4" height.
