I think you have to be a bit more specific. To lower a kit (which I think is what you're getting at) can be done a lot of different ways, and is usually different for each kit. You can:
- modify the suspension (shock length, etc
- modify where the suspension mounts on the frame
- use dropped spindles

etc, etc.

What you are essentially doing, is figuring out a way to mount the wheels higher on the frame, to end up lowering the frame and body. So figuring out a way to mount the tires higher on the frame is all it comes down to. Make sure the tires are reasonably straight still, and that they fit under the fenders.
