you need to move the spring perches down 2" and completely reengineer the 4 link the factory uses. that or get some 2" dropped coils and deal with the ride. it shouldnt be that bad, but of course you are modifying what the factory spent millions of dollars in R&D on.

yes it will. you are loosing 2" of travel. for some reason every spring manufacture thinks they need to make springs horribly rigid, even for just a 2" drop. i would think if you had a custom spring wound, you could keep the stock, well almost stock ride. you would have to know uncompressed/compressed height, rate of compression and weight handling to have it made.
