If you head down this path, as others mentioned, you need lowering  
blocks and longer U bolts. Depending on how much you lower the car,  
you also need a longer centre bolt. The centre bolt passes through the  
spring to lock it down, and the round head of the centre bolt needs to  
also pass through the lowering block, and engage in the hole in the  
diff banjo. It must engage in the diff banjo.
I'm sure you can buy all this stuff off the shelf now, but when I did  
it 15 years ago, we had to make the lowering blocks and a new longer  
centre bolt. My lowering blocks are about (from memory) 2 3/4 inches  
passengers side and 2 1/4 inches drivers side.
