Taking lift off help

I have a 6in pro comp lift on my 2004 2wd f150, I am getting tired of the lift and want to go back to stock with a leveling kit I also have 35s, I've been trying to find someone to trade with but its pretty tough to find someone in my area. What do I need to get to go back down to stock level?

To put the lift on, your frame might have had to be cut to put in the front crossmember or something like that. I know I had to cut mine to put on my 6" Fabtech lift, but mine is a 4x4. I couldn't go back to stock without getting a piece of frame from a wrecked truck and having it welded onto mine

you do not need to cut or weld anything to your truck since it is a 2wd. All you need to do is take off the parts from the lift and replace with stock parts. I have all the stock parts from my 2wd after i lifted it. where are you located?

I am in the central valley. How much are you trying to get for the lift? I have a 2" leveling kit currently on my truck.

I would be willing to do the trade if you paid the cost of the labor, would that be a fair trade for you?

My buddy has a shop with lifts by San Francisco.. I can comp your gas for the drive and we can just do the swap at his shop on a weekend?


If you are willing to do that I'll hit him up and make sure it is cool to use the shop and we can figure out a day that works for everyone.


Do you already have smaller tires?

I would be willing to do that if you covered the gas, I don't have smaller tires I have been reading and I really was hoping to keep my 35s People have been saying you can do it. Can anyone tell me Forsure that this will work?

With my 2" leveling kit and 33x12.50 on stock wheels I had 0 rubbing and it looked as if I could fit 35's in there but never actually tried it. Do you have them on stock wheels or aftermarket? I think with the right backspacing they would work.

If you have 17" wheels I can bring some 33x12.50's in case the 35's don't work and you can just have them if need be. I'll hit my buddy up about using the shop. When would be a good weekend for you... or which weekends would not work for you? I am busy this coming weekend but any other weekend I am available.

The 35s are kinda big for a 2wd if all you have is a leveling kit, but it can and has been done. Alot of it depends on the offset and backspace of the wheels. Do you happen to konw the offset or backspace? You should be fine as long as you don't do any hardcore offroading.
