    is that all that is involved with lowering a 4x4 without ordering a lowering kit.

    Just pull your lift blocks, you'll need 2x4 u-bolts. That's a 2" rear drop

    I had my Z71 like that for a while before I lifted it back up. If you want some 2x4 u-bolts drop me a PM and I'll set you up with them.

    Same thing I said on page one.
