There are two ways you can lower it
Either get your existing springs decambered (bent) by a specialist to lower the ride
Or relocate the axle above the springs, with u bolts and a adapter plate
I did both on my van with some arch mods and it looked super low
You will also need to remove the rear bias valve to stop the back end locking up and fit an adjustable bias valve
