Yes and no. You can lower the rear by 2" with shorter lift blocks but you should not lower the front. A search should reveal many discussion threads on this topic.

you can lower the front 2 inches and be fine, the rear can be dropped 6 or so pretty easy. 2 inches won't hurt a thing.

first thing that comes to mind is why would you want to do this . but with the right amount of time and money anything can be done . im still scratching my head on why would some one buy a 4x4 and then lower it thats what they build 2 wheel drives for .

I know. I bought this truck new, and love it. But, the geometry of it to my 5th wheel is not great. I need 4wd only a couple of times each winter, but, those few times really count. I'd be happy if i could go down 1 inch all around, but, would prefer two.

Does your logon relate to the Navy 'Bee's?
