Skyjacker lift questions
 
I have the Skyjacker 4.5" kit with the long arms, adjustable trackbar, and dropped pitman arm. My question is: Can I go from the 4" springs to some 2" lift springs without changing the control arms and track bar? I would really like to drop it 2 inches, but I don't want to give up my track bar or control arms. Let me know what you think!

If the trackbar has enough adjustment to recenter the axle, it should work.

Control arms on the other hand might not, depends on how forward they push the axle with 2 inches less vertical.

Not up on my algebra to figure out how much further they'd push it.
Think of it as a triangle, with the 4 inches being the base, and the lower control arm being one side.
Shorten the base by 2 inches, how much does the side grow.

How much adjustment do ya think I ould have to take up?
Have to break out the old Pythagoreans theorem for the control arms, huh?
