I would sell the 4x4 and obtain a 2wd to lower it. You can sell the 4x4 for more and buy as 2wd for less. To switch the 4x4 over to a 2wd would cost you much more than just buying a 2wd to begin with. However, if you want to keep the 4wd and just lower it, I assume you can just use lowering blocks on all 4 corners to get it down. However, 4wd is heavy and will ruin your fuel economy. Why not just keep it stock and get into off roading?
