Re: Lowest

You want to lower a 4wd? I think the transfer case, cross members and front steering are going to be more of an issue than the leaf springs.

Re: Lowest

This was addressed at length not to long ago, using the search function should bring it up.

Do a flip kit on the factory rear leaf springs.

Re: Lowest

You can flip the axle and then put on some lowing blocks. Are you planning on bagging it?
