Default GET low

So i have owned my D150 since i was 17years old. I would like to lower it, i was wondering what are the ways of going about this? i figure for the front you just cut the springs but what do you do for the rear? Any ideas are greatly apreciated!

Something about 88-98 chevy shackles brings itself to my memory. I'd imagine you could just flip the axle too.

Cutting the springs to lower a truck is a really bad idea, not only will it ride like a log wagon, it will eat tires and make you look like an idiot driving down the road with your front-end looking like this: /-----\ (the outside slashes are your front tires). Drop spindles are the way to go for the front, and flipping the axle over the rear springs are how to do it in the back. You may need to notch stuff in the bed or cut and re-weld the frame in the back depending on how low you want to go. (use blocks in between the rear springs and axle to go as low as you want)
