Unlifting project.

[eighteenninetytwo]

OK I need to start planning the unlifting project for the truck. The actual work I'll try to do myself once I have parts, but before I even start that there are a ton of questions as this would be my first attempt at anything major myself. I am planning to take pics and post them of all of these areas for the experts here to comment on and make suggestions before I start anything.

The areas I THINK I'll need to look at are:

Suspension - will need new springs in front, new shocks all round, new U Bolts possibly all round at least in back. May need new springs in back if the 4" Blocks are integral to the existing springs (how do I figure THAT out?).

Steering - there seems to be a Dropped Pitman arm on the steering to accommodate the current lift.

Drive line - losing a 4 Inch lift, if pythagorus is to be believed, can make up to a half inch difference in the length needed of the rear driveline (ie it has to be shorter. Does the transfer case or the rear axle either mount or have components mounted in such a manner that such a difference can be accommodated, or does this operation require a change of (or to) the drive line?

Are there any other things I've missed here. Will take pics tomorrow and post them for comment / advice.
