Taking off lift?

Anyone familiar with how to reverse a lift and what I will need? My EX is currently lifted 10" but I'd like to just take it down to like a 2-4" lift. What is the best way at going about this?


Thanks for the help in advance!

Research the v/b moded code spring swap as that will get you to a 2" lift. If you want to go higher you can do the v/b codes with drop hangers on the front and a larger block on the rear or x codes in the front with the larger block in the rear.

I removed a large lift from my X back in April and here are the parts I needed to obtain in order to make it happen.

Here are the original parts I had to get first.
Stock pitman arm
Stock track bar bracket.
Stock sway bar end links
Stock shock brackets.
Stock rear leaf springs to Mod the B's
Stock rear block.

Things purchased new for the v/b setup.
New shocks
New front V code springs
New Rear B code springs
All new u-bolts and nuts
Rear sway bar -Hellwig
