just crank the T bars down 8 turns, that will give you 2" and you can either get 2" blocks for the rear or get new shackles

Actually I am interested in lowering mine as well. I figure as long as lowering doesn't add stress (or resistance) to the driveline, then it will improve the aerodynamics a little to help fuel economy. I don't need all that clearance either, and i'm not a fan of 8" lifts and 37" tires.
