Cant we jut remove all of the old jacked-up crap and install a proper lowering kit?

sure. why not? kinda depends on how hacked up the first job was. if they fubar'd any parts that are NOT in the standard drop kit, then you'll need to fix or replace them.

pics would be nice...

Can't make any of it out :jester:

No lift had to jack it up to get those.

Can you remove a wheel, then take a pic of the inside around the knuckle area?

i r confuddled.:huh:

looks like the thingamobob goes to the dohicky that connects to that thing on the right thats welded to the thing on the left.

We took the wheel off, looks the same as OEM setup. I will have to get this thing on a lift. If we were to replace the current setup what kits are out there for JUST the front and are for 4wd?

NONE. basicly just the torsion bars. what they prolly did was take the stock ball joints and flip them. can be done easily and give like 2 inches of drop plus the torsion bars=like 5-6 inches tops.

That is what it looks like. So taking that and running with it, how do we swap it to make it properly lowered? We will buy the kit, just need the proper info.

Nothing to buy, just fix your ball joints and lower with your torsion bars.
