why WHY would you want to drop the height of a 4x4 to begin with?? If you ever get in areas where there is snow (if you ever get out of Georgia) you would be plowing snow!

just take out the t-bar adjuster bolts and you will get about 2-3" of drop i think...........

Snow??? What is that??? we hardly ever get snow... maybe 4 inches a year at the most....

You would want to drop it as low as your mechanic could align it properly (about 2" for me). You wouldn't want to ruin them 20's tires would you?

my t-bar bolts are out for 3'' drop up front and 2'' blocks in the rear

k, u took out your Tbar bolts and that gave u a 3" drop up front?? and u put 2" loweringblocks on back?? is that what your saying? if so, how does it ride w/ out the tbar bolts, dropped about 3"??
