Depends on what you have. 4X2, 4X4, air suspension, etc.
I have 4X2 with air suspension and lowered the front with Eibach 1 1/2" lowering springs. Didn't have to do anything to the rear except adjust the air suspension sensor so it sits lower. I also installed Lightning wheels and 285/60/18 Michelin Pilots. Overall effect was the wheel wells are full of tire and lowering improved lateral handling quite a bit. The Michelins also improved the ride, traction, etc.
I went with the Eibach because they offer the best ride. Smooth until pushed. Progressive tension. You'll have to install cmber kits to realign the Exp. I purchased the springs and camber kits from Tire Rack.

I lowered the back about 2" to bring it about level with the front at rest. I was surprised how much you can adjust the rear height. I had to readjust it a couple of times to get it right. Fortunately, it's an easy task.
I don't have any pictures. Hate to say it but I don't know how. I'd attempt to do it if someone provided me with easy to understand step by step instructions.
