Rear leaf springs

[Herbpov]

I want to lower the rear of my 4X4 about 2 inches. I just wonder if I could install the 4X2 leafs in the rear of the 4X4. Anyone know what the rear ride height is on the 4X2 as compared to the 4X2.???

I believe the springs are the same, I don't see why they wouldn't be. My 2wd sits the same height as 4wd.

I think the specs say the 4wd OR is about .8 of an inch higher than 2WD, although maybe that is just from different tires. I don't know if OR has different rear springs or not.

It says on nissan's site Overall height (4x2/4x4) 75.0/76.6. Although I don't think that the leaf springs are differnt I think that it is more of front highth change and rear. I put the prerunner lift in the front of mine 4x2 and it is taller than a std 4x4.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll maybe get some made at the local spring shop.

I believe Jet Tech spring helpers bring you down about 3/4"....and a shell cap another 3/4"....and some stuff in the bed..1/2"= 2" with stock springs and better ride.

ktmstarr, If you don't mind how difficult is the removal of the 3rd leaf? Steps for the removal? Thanks. PEACE
