Suzuki allows the DR650 to be lowered both front and rear, built to do this at the factory. But it gives you only an inch lower. It helps but if you need more, buy lowering links. This will lower bike another two inches if needed.
Go to DR Riders forum and join up. Ask about lowering links. Someone can point you where to find them ... links are not expensive, very easy to install.
To lower the bike using Suzuki's method you only need move a pin in shock linkage to lower rear. But to lower front, forks must come apart. No big deal really. (internal spacers needs to be reversed) You can also raise up fork tubes up within triple clamps.
I'm 5'6" and do OK on my DR650. Not lowered at all and has a wide Corbin seat, but still OK for me.
You can learn loads about the DR650 on the DR Riders Forum.
