Any reason behind it, why would you do that?
Do you want to drive it like that permanently or just short of time to do it all in one go?

The stance would look wrong and I'm not 100% sure but on paper it would affect breaking and cornering.
It would certainly look like your overloaded or driving with wrecked suspension and might get some interest from the local dibble.

I'm also interested in your reasoning. If its costs just wait and save up, you won't regret it.

I’ve just lowered mine using the dark side kit with H&R springs up front. It’s -60, ride is perfect, not Harsh. My one gripe is that the rear appears lower then the front. I spoke to Darkside about this and they’ve sent me some longer rear shackles with 2 additional holes to raise the back abit. I’ve got no load in the back of mine. With that kit, at -40 the back would be much lower then the front and would look silly. Tbh even at -60 it’s not as low as I’d like it to be. Still drives great though.
