    Hey guys I have a procomp 6" lift and I'd like to lower it a little.

    I know there are 4 inch drop bracket lifts out there so I won't have to piece that cross member back.

    Question is can I/ what do I need to replace other than the drop bracket?
    Can I just replace the spindles with 4inch spindle lift +struts? Or should I try to buy a whole 4 inch lift and swap out everything but the drop bracket.

    Thanks Bros

    Are you on full size coilovers, or do you have the large front lift block on?

    Coilovers in front, 4inch block and add a leaf in back I believe.

    So I had full-length ICON coilovers with my 6" lift and removed the lift block completely. But I noticed that with no preload on them my suspension was pushed down. One thing I did was take my coilovers off, they shortened the end rods like 1.5" and the front suspension components (UCAs and LCAs) sat more level. Then I just put in a small block in the rear.

    Do you have the same issue, suspension pushed down? or are you level and just want to reduce the overall height?

    So you just had someone modify the strut? And kept the larger aftermarket spindles?
