Do you mean the high steer kit? I was concerned about that. Can I just remove it, rebolt everything to the factory locations and swap the coils?

Yes you can. You need a factory DL and you should be able to use the flip insert up through the bottom of the knuckle.

Not if you don't have enough lift. Mine is a light front end i.e. Light bumper and light winch and I don't have enough lift with 2.5" rk springs and 1/2" spacer.
Also if you are talking about reusing the high lift kit in stock location no you can't. You have a desirable aev lift remove it and sell it as a kit. You could easily find someone to trade you their on drilled knuckle too.

AEV uses a stock DL but its a right hand drive DL, meaning the bend is opposite. So no you can not use it in the stock location.
You can buy a stock DL at Napa, Autozone for $50 maybe less.

If you have a 3" tall bump stop in the front with 2.5" coils you can run a high steer setup.

Or you can notch the frame and use a lower height bump stop.

Just enough checking to see that some front lower shock relocation brackets would be a primo choice. Bumpstops will be put in soon.
