You can lower it a bit buy adjusting the rubber on the sides ( they twist up & down) and moving the hinge but youll end up with it not lining up even with fenders.

there's a small amount of movement possible with the four bolts that hold it to the hinge, do you have them as far forward as possible?

Arent there those rubber adjuster things above both headlights, i dont know their exact name, but you can adjust them in or out to fix fitment. Not sure how much that will help your situation, worth a shot tho.

Bump stops are usually referred to for your shocks.
