Lowering the rear of a 4x4 by removing 2" lift blocks
Are the 2WD u-bolts something that is dealer only, or can you find them at parts stores or on-line parts warehouses?

Thanks

I went to carquest and they neasured mine and ordered some 2" shorter. They have a guy who makes them. The dealer was so confused when I asked them, they wanted a vin to order them from.

Is yours done now? If so, does it sit level now by just removing the 2 inch lift blocks?

Its not done yet. Long story. However the rear sits excactly 2" higher than the front from tire to wheelwell. So it should be perfect.
