First step would be remove any blocks from the rear axle, after that you're gonna have to get custom springs front and rear depending on how low you want to go. I don't think there is much room for the axle on the front to go much lower and still have any travel though.

I took the blocks out of the rear, and kept the 1500 springs in the front of mine. I am waiting until I get the engine put back together so I can see exactly how the will front sit and I'll adjust the rear up or down to level it.

You can heat the springs a little at a time. That, or trade it for a "vato" outfit and a chrome bicycle with a velvet seat.
