I'll start by stating the obvious: this hurts. Alas, the time has come and I'm going to have make this beast a little more practical, and I'm looking for yalls help.
I'm going to have to make this my daily and I commute about 40mi round trip. As I mention in the post, I currently have a 6" fabtech lift with a 3" body, while running on 37s (dick cepek fun country IIs). I should probably note that I have had this way since 2003 and haven't put significant miles on her since 2008...
The dilemma is I'm not quite sure A) what it'll cost me to remove the body lift and/or the suspension lift, and B) what should I put back on. Ideally, I would get rid of the body lift and either go with a 4" inch suspension lift or a leveling kit. My biggest interest is making sure it can handle the miles I'm putting on it, which means I'm not opposed to swamping gears out, etc.
I called a few shops here in town (Houston) and got mixed feedback. One shop gave me an estimate of around 2K to remove both and go with a leveling kit. The other said that I lowest I could ever go with is a 4" because the cross-member was cut when I got the 6" and said that I could get to 4K real quick.
Has anyone ever done this before? Do the estimates sounds about right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'll post pics this weekend when I get off work.
Thanks in advance,
