4x4 question

[97trackerdriver]

i've seen and heard of people lifting 4x4 sidekicks and trackers but i want to go the other way and lower mine as it will never see any off road conditions other than the few dirt roads.

i have looed around for lowering kits but i only found kits for the 2wd version.

i've got shocks and coils on all four corners. i had suggestions from a few people to either cut the springs or collapse a few coils until i have the desired height.

this brings me to my question. What is the best way to lower 4x4 vehicles?

if anyone has the answer to my question, can help or has any suggestions, please reply.

If you know for a fact that you will not use the 4wd then take out the front axles, differential and driveshaft. Its excess spinning that will only hinder daily driving. I personally dont like the idea of cutting coil springs. If it were my car I would take out one front coil and one rear coil. Measure them. Go to a salvage yard or anywhere and look arround for a shorter spring. You can also totally ditch the coil springs and go to air bags.

i don't want to completely remove the 4x4 capabilities as it is useful in winter.

as for airbags well i'm not too sure how they work and what is available. and is probably too expensive.

cutting the springs is really a last resort. i don't like the idea of cutting them either.

i dont know any off hand but there are lots of companies out there that make air bag kits. You can probobly get the entire kit for under $1500. Your looking at more for some fast bags.
