Two companies make kits to do it for the 5G. Beltech and Freak Rides. 5 inch rear and 3 inch front drop. The rear is done with an axle flip. Several people on here have done it.

Looks great! I saw a lowering shackle online but it appears you have to notch the frame to get any real drop which is a shame.
You cannot go cheap, if you want to do things correctly. I used Belltech's Rear Flip kit on mine and dropped it 5", no notching required. I used Freakrides' Front Coilovers and Control Arms to get about a 3"

Unsure exactly, but I've had it loaded with bags of mulch and it never bottomed out of rubbed at all. This was at the 4" rear drop, after I saw how it looked, I dropped it another 1" It really doesn't drop that much when it has a hefty payload in the bed :)

This is empty bed with the 5" rear drop.

The rear can go another 1", as can the front, but if I go any lower up front, I'll start rubbing worse than it does now... But I'm pretty sure that's due to the -55mm offset wheels...
