If I were you, I'd jus get a 2wd rearend...You'll get better gearing and it'll bolt in and lower easily...Much easier than cutting and rewelding and so on...Less to worry about messing up...And idk if you're still wanting to use 4x4 or not but I'd say to reindex your bars more up front and get to hackin at bumpstops and get smaller shocks...if you're not using 4x4 then yank axles in front too

well i PLAN on keeping and using the 4x4, just for traction purposes lolz, meaning i CANT switch to a 2wd drive rear end, the gearing wont match between the front and the back. and i am already cranked to the point that i am riding ON full bump stops, due to it being a 4x4 the bump stops are WAAAAAY lower then on the 2wd. i plan on hacking those up and moving them in the next couple weeks or so if i can find a reasonably priced axle flip kit.
