No, there isn't. Simply because lowering the front end would at the very least, make it ride like it had no suspension at all, in addition, the axle could come in contact with things it shouldn't, and bad things would result. Want to lower a 4x4 truck? Get something with independent front suspension.

A step, and a handle come in quite handy. Something like what they have for shower stalls. I have one by my main entry door, for the same reason.
