My previous toyhauler was a Tailgator, I did the exact opposite. I raised it 6" so that I could fit my Ranger in without it hitting the roll cage. I removed all hardware, raised it up 6" and reattached everything.
There is no reason that you couldn't do the same thing to lower it, depending on how low you go you it may not swing up high enough to use the space below it.
An additional modification I made is I added 6" longer gas struts so that is still came down a little lower, when I raised it I wasn't able to sit up in the bed, the longer struts allowed me to sit up again.
Hope that helps.
