best way to lower my lifted truck

[tobaccogrower]

my w250 is lifted about 6 inches. i want to drop it down to a 2-3 inch lift. is there any companys out there that still make lift kits for these old trucks? i figure the easiest way would get a lower kit and swap it out with the tall kit. i plow with the truck and it being so high puts the plow at a very extreame angle and makes it almost impossable to plow gravel roads and lots.

If you just want to swap a kit, here's a partial list of what's available from the major makers... http://www.summitracing.com/search/...rt-type/suspension-lift-kits/fuel-type/diesel

The best thing you can do is to put it back stock ride height !

I'll argue that!!! Stock height is dangerous on roof sheet metal and back glass!!! When the front springs bottom out from the 3" of travel they have from the factory, it'll bounce your head off the ceiling like a basketball..... And if they've sagged, like any other one I've ever seen, they'll ride like a stifled, three-legged donkey!!! It's been my experience, a 2-3" lift spring, usually by adding arch and occasionally a half-leaf in the front, makes a much better ride on man and machine. I don't have the engineering degree some do, but I've had several dozen of the old pre-94 Dodge trucks, and every one needed work on the front suspension. Bottoming out on small potholes can't be good for axle, body, or driver..... I don't think it needs 6", but it needs something more than reverse arch, 1. 5" between the snubber and frame, ESPECIALLY if you go off road anywhere.
