Why ?
Never seen the point of buying a 4x4 and lowering it. Will you be requiring 20" chrome rims aswell.
Sorry each to there own
You could always cut a coil or 2 off your coils but you may need new shocks to stop it bottoming out.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

Never heard of anybody lowering a jimny so i don't know the route you would take. Best suggestion is to speak to someone like Gaz or Koni they all do custom applications afaik.
Only other option would be to chop a couple of coils out of them but thats a pony mod and i'd never recommend it despite the many people i know that "have done it for years without a problem".
Now, time for a slight confession. I often thought how cool it would be to have a second jimny thats purely roadgoing - big alloys, airbag lowering and keep it mint and clean with a big install. Just because really. :blush:

This is pure for more stabilty on the road.. Im doin alot of dual carridge driving and when its wet and windy doing 50mph or more just feels dangerous and sum times feels the car is going to blow over.. Any other ideas apart from lowering it would be great.. But i do personally think lowering it is the best option...
