Several vendors sell the lowering bolts for the rear.

The front is a different story. You will have to cut the bushing in front to get what you are looking for.

I cut my bushings in the rear and retained the stock bolts. I had the bushing up front cut down to about an eight of an inch.

Here are a couple of links to show where my height is.

TTT means To The Top

Depending on what suspension option you have (Base, Z51, Z06) will determine how low you'll be able to go. For the front, just turn the adjusting bolts all the way down....if that's low enough do like i did and just remove the adjusting bolts. For the rear, loosen the adjustng bolts until you have three threads showing on top......if that's not low enough for you go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy longer bolts (need at least grade 8 bolts & nuts).
