Lift info
Good morning. I picked up a 7.3 and I want to take it back to stock ride height. Maybe a 2 in lift but not the 6” it currently has. Or at least I think it’s only 6”. The issue is I have no clue how to tell. Any help to figure out how much lift I have would be great.

I would actually write down a realistic budget for it before doing much else. If you have, excellent.

Looks like someone dod a homemade rsk. Looks to be welded to the frame. Hard to be able to give help until we get some better pics of how that bar is attached and what the stock mounting points look like.

I know these things can get out of hand quick. Step one was a budget. Just needing a few things answered while waiting for some other parts.
