He's saying take it to a suspension shop and have them install the lowering spacers and proper length fork springs too.
If you just lower the rear, the bike won't handle properly, especially in the corners.

You can check into various years of YZ250F and YZ450F foot pegs.
I run the 2010 YZ250F foot pegs on my YZ125 and YZ250, because they're more durable and wider.

Some of those foot pegs from the late model 450F (2010 and later) are a bit higher (about 4mm or 5mm) which may suit you better. Do a little research around the forum, and on the web and you'll find the info on which pegs are which height.

I run the pegs from a 2010 YZ250F on all my two-stroke YZ's because they're much wider and more durable, but the same height as stock two-stroke pegs.

you can slide the forks right up in the triple clamps and get a lowering link for the rear but the proper way is internal lowering as stated above. You could also cut the seat down like a free style bike. Short of that you just need to get used to riding it at that height

Make sure the spring rates are correct for your weight, firstly, which at 145 it is. Set have a friend help you set rear sag. That could give you some "free lowering" if your 125 currently sits too high in back. But at 5'3", even 100-105mm sag is going to be a tall bike.
