Jack up on the leaf to get the bolt off of the surface of the A-arm, then rotate the bolts so that the stoppers move. The more you turn those bolts, the lower it gets.
Most guys lower the front all the way down so that the bolt stoppers bottom out on the leaf spring, but the rear will require aftermarket bolts to make it go as low as the front can go. Otherwise, the rear sits about 1" higher when both front/rear are bottomed out.

That's exactly what I did too.
Even though I looked at the car before with painted ones...
