Default How to Lower4

I have a 2012 F150 FX4 and unfortunately the underground parking garage at my new office is too low for the truck. My bosses 2019 F150 Lariat had to have smaller tires put on it to get it to miss the concrete overhangs on the exit ramp. So I'm wondering if anyone has every put air bags on the front and rear or some other way to drop the truck? I have lots of companies that have sent me rear air bags, but I need to lower the whole truck.

Best way to lower is by changing springs and shackles.

It would be nice if I could lower it going into the parking garage and otherwise maintain the ride height.

Before I would be lowering and raising a vehicle all the time for parking, I would find a new place to park.Doesn't seem worth it to me just for parking.
I remember a co-worker delivering some expensive gear in an fully loaded E150. He barely made it in the garage, once unloaded, hide height increased back to normal and he had to take the ladder rack off to exit the garage.
