I just bought a '16 Sahara. It has a 4" rough country lift which I would like to get rid of or change up. Do you think I can just get some shorter spring and shocks or should I remove the whole kit and start over. I would like to run my stock wheels and maybe some 33" tires. Rather than buying wheels and tires for the 4" lift.

 

Sigh, yes, probably best to start fresh depending on what is/ isn't there. Particularly for 33's, 4" is overkill.

 

That is a terrible lift and why it is so cheap. I would put a 2"-2.5" kit on it and be done. This is a great kit for a mainly daily driver that may want to do a little exploring off road. It will allow you to run up 35" tires.

 

Honestly I don't even care if I have a lift of not... I just want a good quality ride. If things like the drop pitman arm would still work with smaller springs I would just do that.I don't have any of the stock parts. I am also going to remove the steel bumpers and go back to stock.

 

I also want to identify my bumpers so that I can sell them. I'm going to install the factory ones instead. I like the look of the rear but not so much the front. And I don't like how lousy the paint holds up to rust.

 

Would I not benefit from new shocks and maybe some new steering components?

 

Unfortunately to drop back down in height you'll need a regular pitman arm. The other potential you have is to trade someone your lift components for stock. You might ask for a low price on the trade but then everyone comes out winning.

 

So if I just buy springs, shocks, and pitman arm, I can just bail on the relocation brackets and be good to go?

 

Yes, if you go back to stock you just need the factory pitman arm. I have full suspensions from a rubicon and sahara and I may have some bumpers. I don't think I have a pitman arm. Are you in Auburn, CA?

 

I see your plates are Maine.
