    Just make sure the bushings are good and make sure you take the bolts and the nuts.

    You can’t unless you cut out a factory crossmember from another frame and weld it on your frame

    Drop brackets you have to cut the frame crossmember for install

    Man, you'll need to source the original top mounts if you plan to put it back to stock.

    a dropped one and a high one
    You are going to fight an uphill battle to find parts that will work.

    Two options, well three as I see it.

    1. Replace the lift kit with some other more classical 6 inch drop bracket lift, They cut a cross member to put this lift on, therefor there is no going back to stock unless, as was mentioned before you cut the missing segment out of another frame.

    2. Throw parts and try to shimmy this terrible lift back together

    3. Straight axle. Which not only is a huge jump in skillset and technically ability, it will be very costly.

    My opinion is that option one is your best bet, start trying to find a 6 inch fabtech lift kit, and because you are going to need to spend money on UCAs, might as well go aftermarket and get adjustable.
