Remove the rear blocks and get lowering spindles for a 2/2. Add lowering shackles and de-twist the torsions for a 3/4. Click on my sig.

there aren't that many options ya know? you can swap LCA's and Spindles up front, blocks, shackles, hangars or even take out leafs in the rear.

you can get drop keys, spindles or arms for the front keys can get you 2-3" arms 3" spindles 2" out back add hangers for another 2" or stock shackles back in with a flipkit will get you 6" but any more than 4" out back you'll want to notch it.

thats why 2wd's were invented bro.. dropped or stock height, a 4x4 is still going to be heavier than a 2wd at same stance, therefore going to be slower no matter what.. since they're going to be slower no matter what comparing it to a 2wd with same mods, **** might as well keep it stock height or higher, wat 4x4's were meant for.
