Lift kit removal
Need some info and what to do to remove a lift kit on a '94 F150 4wd extended cab short bed that has a 4 inch lift kit. I need to replace the shocks now and want to return the truck to it's original ride height because it is a pain getting stuff in and out of the bed.
The rear axle has space blocks between the leaf springs and axle so it looks like just take out the spacer blocks, use new U bolts of the right length and I am set. Do I need shorter stabilizer link bars?
Front end has a spacer block between the frame and radius arm so it looks like I can just remove the spacer and bolt the radius arm to the frame. For the axle mounts to the frame, it appears I need to remove the bracket and replace with one the proper height. Is this correct? If yes, what year trucks can I get this from besides another '94?
I know I will need new coil springs and a new pitman arm. For the front stabilizer bar, do I need to replace link bars also? Are there any other parts I need to replace? Thinking it would be a good time to replace all the rubber bushings in the suspension system too.
Thanks in advance for your help with these questions.
