I think he's assuming he can do that. I spent almost 2 hours at the local Central 4Wheel Drive store. We went through every catalog from every manufacturer.
Rancho politely told me to go pound sand. The biggest issue is that the front shocks are very unique. They have a clevis mount (similar to a strut) on the bottom and a pin on the top.
No one else makes them. No one. Rancho makes them in 2 sizes 0" ride height and 4". And told me they are absolutely not interested in making a 2 " version. "See ya later lady and good luck."
