Exclamation Need help locating thread with "Lowering Instructions"

I am going to be lowering the truck tonight and was looking for a thread that had the detailed lowering instructions - pictures, tools required, etc. I had it printed off when I lowered my first Lightning two years ago, but lost it when I moved. I need them for a quick refresher today.
I have Bell Tech coils for the front... any idea on their orientation in the control arm? The last set of springs I put in had to be oriented correctly with a hole in the lower control arm. These springs came with no instructions, and I don't think they can just be swapped right in.
Any quick and easy ways to do the rear shackles? I have the JLP shackles and was looking to get the most drop... that is the top hole of the three (in my case - 1/2/3 drop) on the shckle, right?

Thanks!

Thanks! Is the NAPA cam bolt kit required to do this? My last truck needed these since it was always out of alignment... in fact, it was still never straight after install, and numerous alignments. My 2002 has always been straight, up until last week when I rotated the tires and had to beat the fronts off the truck.. ever since, it has drifted to the left quite a bit...... not sure how I could do that, but anyway.
