Most raise the front to level. Maybe remove the rear block between the axel and the leaf springs.

As MORRIS mentioned ... Remove the rear leaf spacers. *Which is what I opted to do on my previous 2009 STX.
OR ...

Install lowering spring shakles.

You don't say how much you want to lower. The blocks are 1 1/4", that's the free way. You can also get lowering shackles, as mentioned. I just dropped the rear by using the shackles, Ford Performance item, made by Ground Force. I used 1 1/2" drop.
