drop question

does any know if it is possible to lower a 00 expo 4wd without major surgury? i would imagine the front isnt to hard because it has torsion bars but the rear is where im lost.

Usually you lift a 4wd. Could you trade it for a 2wd? The rear would be easy to lower with custom springs, but the front would be a nightmare. If you just untwist the torsion bars it will screw up your alignment. I don't know if there is enough adjustment to straighten it back out.
