i do not really know where or how to start...any help or advice on what kind of kits and where to find them would be greatly appreciated...
You don't? Seriously? Dude, just read through this section a LITTLE BIT and you'll have all the info you need.
In the meantime, here's some info in a nutshell for you.
You can put just rear 2" drop springs on it and "level" it. Or, you could do a full lowering kit with spindles up front and 3"-4" lower springs in the rear. Chances are you're going to have some rubbing up front with lowering and 26"s, but there are plenty of folks here who have your set up and have alleviated most or all of the rubbing.
Finally, Tony ("NORCAL SS") sells the kit(s) you want, and is a wealth of knowledge as well.
It's all right here. Just read a bit, and you'll have all the info you could possibly need.
