Default Dropping a D100

I have a nigh-upon bone-stock 1984 D100. Literally, the only mods are a wiper delay, and some diamond-plate side steps. I'd like to drop it, but I'm really not sure how. Summit and Jegs don't seem to sell anything to help with this. I've seen something about using Dakota drop spindles for the front, but I don't have any machining experience, so if that's not going to bolt up directly, I'm boned.
Basically, I'm looking for bolt-on lowering equipment.
Future plans include a dual side-exit exhaust, so I don't want it to be too low. I'm thinking 3-4 inches in the front, 2-3 in the rear. Nothing drastic, just a little more aggressive stance.

Lowering springs are available for the front as well as pocketed lower control arms.
Drop shackles and drop spring mounts for the back as well as spring under kits.
There are a few other ways as well.
