Back to stock?
Hey everyone,
My question is probably backwards to what most people are asking on this forum... What would I need to do to bring my 95 F150 XLT back down to the stock height? I'm really not sure what the guy did to it other then a 6 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift. It has 38's and thats about all I know... I originally wanted to get a fully stock 95 F150 (similar to what I learned how to drive in when I was younger) but I couldn't pass the deal up and thought I'd like the rough ride of this monster. I was wrong. The rides too rough and its just not what I was looking for. What would I need to do to bring this monster back down to stock size? I'm sure there are parts that have been extended to make up for the height of the lift, but are they reversible if I bring it back down? I don't know much about what needs to be done but any help would be huge! Oh, I also have a 93 Bronco. Could I swap out parts for that to bring it back down?
Heres a picture:
Thanks!

You'd just need the stock axle brackets, radius arms, pitman arm, springs (front and back) and the stock block. You'll obviously need an alignment and your lines will be too long. I dint know if you can tuck them up somewhere or have them shortened. Wanna sell me that 6 inch kit?

You already have the stock radius arms on the f150...and I'm guessing the rear has blocks and not new springs.
options:
1. swap your suspension brackets and coils from the Bronco onto the f150, and from the F150 to the bronco!
2. just pull the 3" body lift off...JUNK ANYWAYS
3. purchase stock brackets, and just pull the springs out from between the axle and spring pack. you will need stock u-bolts. you will also need a stock pitman arm for the steering box.
if you just want a smoother ride, pop out the front coils and switch them for Rough Country Coils with new ProComp shocks...and pull out the body lift.
after dropping this all down you will need to get MUUUCH smaller tires...tires depend on what you decide to do.
