What do you mean, if you want to lower your roll center you need a panhard bar, if you want a lower diff ratios try a GSL-SE, your question is not clear

Could be. Try some spring compressors. If that doesnt give enough room start unbolting pieces until the housing will drop enough, start with shocks and upper control arms.

Jack up the rear, remove tires, lower onto jack stands. Remove sway bar ends, put floor juack under pumpkin jack slightly, unbolt shocks from lower mount, lower floor jack. If you can't pull out the rear springs, push down on brake drum/disc with foot and pull out spring. do same for other side. Assemble in reverse order.
