Use the search function...

You'll need an adjustable panhard bar to re-center the rear end. You'll need to upgrade shocks down the road. Probably have to cut or remove your bump stops. May need an adjustable torque arm to re-set your pinion.

You "can" do it, but it's usually not advised since lowering springs can have an effect on a number of things. There's stickies in this suspension section where you can learn more
