Depending on how low you want it, there are several options. Maybe a set of DJM Dream beams and a rear axle flip..

How low do you want to go?

2/3"-drop coils up front, axle flip and longer shackles in the rear.

3/4"- dream beams up front, axle flip in the rear.

5/7"- dream beams and drop coils up front, axle flip and hanger flip in the rear.

2/2" on the cheap, cut front coils and hanger flip in the rear.

Laying Rocker- Z-frame, body drop, 4-link rear, dream beams and air bags, with a raised transmission mount.

It's all in how low you want to go.

yeah, if you go 5/7", be sure your tires will clear inside the fenders, 'cause you'll be tuckin' at all four corners.
