Want to return to stock height

So bought an 07 FX4 and traded in my 06 XLT.
The FX4 has a 6" fabtech lift on it.
I want to put it back at stock height.

What do i need to return to oem height?
How much will this cost?


p.s. i had a 6" fabtech on my last truck too. it was blaa. a good cheap way for ride height but not much else. at least at oem height finding new shocks to replace the piece of junk fabtech ones will be easy.

Did you keep the stock parts from your '06? You'd need the stock steering knuckles, removable cross member (plus the piece of the driver side lower control arm pocket that was cut off, would need to be welded back up to attach the cross member). Stock blocks for the rear... I'm sure I'm missing a few things that will come to mind later.

If you don't have the stock parts, the cheapest route would be to find someone who wants a 6" fabtech and arrange to swap the parts.

PM if you want to buy my stock spindles. I also have the cross member but not the ears that were cut off. I am in the SF Bay Area, but not sure where in CA you're at.

Not sure how easy it would be but I would be willing to trade. I have the 3" Skyjacker, which is pretty much all stock parts with longer shocks.
