It's not overly difficult to do with a short drop, although you won't get a lot of support or sympothy from the guys on this forum.

You can drop your ride by several inches, depending upon your budget. The lower you go, the more expensive it will get as you'll eventually start trading out varying steering components for custom-made units.

If you want to get real crazy, you can chop & channel your rig and air bag it, so that you can lower it so low, that it rides on the frame rails.

I can't speak from experience with the GC, as I've only lowered a few vehicles in my lift. Personally, I think the perfect lowering kit for you, would be a 4" LIFT kit.

I agree with Webby, lowering it by means of a 4 inch lift is best...lol. But really, if you want to get crazy in lowering it. Go with what Webby said about channeling it, plus Z the frame up front, C-notch the rear (at minimum) if not tube it. Airbags are the future, do it up. Then you can have it be lifted or slammed. Your call.Be sure to take into account some things like, going into driveways, speed bumps/humps, potholes, cracks in the road, anything that may be laying on the road. etc. Those will make it so you cannot even drive certain places with your new drop.
