Lowering?
If I go with a 2 1/2 x 4 drop for now, but later decide I want a 4 1/2 x 6 would I have change everything again or would I be able to use the same shock relocators and panhard bar.

Re: Lowering?
You should be able to reuse the shock relocators and panhard bar- assuming you're putting in an ECE type adjustable unit. If your running a stock arm, you'll need to upgrade this part.

Re: Lowering?
ECE draws the line between 5" & 6" for adjustable panhard and Super panhard. I only know of one shock relocator kit.

Re: Lowering?
