You will need to cut 2/3 of the black rubber bushings on the front. there are several ways to do this and its not that difficult if you have access to a lift. You can also remove the bushing but I dont think thats a good idea. For the rear you can adjust them lower with the longer bolts.

Yup,

Cut the bushings up front. I cut most of my bucking off and while it is not as low as I would like it is still low enough to look dropped but still ride well. The rear, longer bolts are all you need.
