RC4WD sells a body lift kit for the TF2, but I bet if you turned it upside down it would lower your body as well. Might interfere with the rock sliders. Never seen anyone try it though...

You can tweet your leafs in either direction to increase or lower ride height.

The red leafs for sure will allow to sink further sooner than the blacks. Beware though altering ride height with this method alters the wheelbase.

You could also mount your leafs under the axle instead of on top.

Another trick would be to fit packers inside the shocks so they can't fully extend but this will restrict travel.

Gelande front shock hoops will allow you to lower the front end by up to 12mm with stock shocks. In the rear, you should be able to lower by moving the upper shock mounts inboard. Those two adjustments would have the effect if lowering everything a bit without having to modify the body mounts. The only issue to watch out for would be rubbing the tires.
