Letting the air pressure out won't do anything for lowering the bike...there is only about 8-10 psi in there anyway. It will, however, make your ride a bit more spongy. To lower the bike, you'll need to use shorter springs or raise the fork tubes in the triple tree clamps. Remember, changing the geometry of the front end can be dangerous.
