I have a 4x4 also , I thought about lowering it also , I think the easiest way would be to remove the lower spring spacers on the front , and cut 1 inch out the rear & welded back together , but I am going to wait till I get new tires 265/70R19.5 vs the 245/70R19.5. those small tires look absolutely goofy . Let me know if you find a better solution.
