If you wanted a rice burner why did you buy a Honda instead of a 4X4 Durango?
You don't lower a 4X4 [:@]

You can lower your D
The easest way is a DMJ lowering blocks that you put between the axle and springs, Then you crank you front torsion bar down to match, Most poeple go 1 to 2 inches and some 3 inches. I have lowered mine by another way. I'm running a Cal Trac mono leaft rear suspension and ordered them with a lowered stance. I then cranked the fron bars down to match. Reason I have to go this route is I have to much horsepower to put a spacer between the axle and springs. You can find the DMJ blocks for around 150 or so, Can't remember price
Here a pic lowered

I just feel a truck (especially with 4wd) shouldn't be lowered. It's a truck it's made to get dirty and go over speed bumps without issues...
