If you get the dropped spindles from ECE, or just about any other supplier, you'll be doing a conversion to disc brakes. W/O doing that conversion, then lowering springs are your option. As far as ECE is concerned, you can get another inch of lowering by using their one-lower spring with their spindles, for a total of 3.5 inches. 5 inches in the rear will look good, too. You gotta watch going too low in the rear because of interference between the drive shaft and the crossmember that the rear trailing arms attach to. You can get another crossmember, and ECE has those, too.
