Re: Tired of my lift!!!!
Most of the lifts for IFS trucks are hard to return to stock. When they are installed they have to cut one of the front diff mounting brackets off the frame. Some lift companies sell a replacement bracket so you can return to stock though...

Re: Tired of my lift!!!!
Did you buy the truck lifted or install it?
What about trading it in on an 09? Zero mechanical work on your part that way. Win/win for both you & your wife IMO. |

Re: Tired of my lift!!!!
Unfortunately,it will be very difficult.It`s a big job installing one and as mentioned,you have to alter mounts.If you don`t know exactly what was done,it will make it harder.

Re: Tired of my lift!!!!
i have never done a lift on a truck this new but if i remeber right the big selling point is that it is a true bolt in kit as where the 89-98 chevs had to have a tab cut off the front diff. good luck. maybe post a picture or to of the front suspention.
