    Drop blocks, pull the middle leafs and loosen the torsion bars.

    I think you can get about a 3/4 drop from just that. Maybe lower.

    yup drop blocks are about 30- 50 bucks depending on where you get it from, and the rest just costs you some time!!

    Any lowering in the front will induce negative camber.

    I did about 3-4" up front and I had ~1-2 degrees of negative camber.

    Get an alignment on it? they will remove the shims to correct it.
