Re: Removing a lift, who wants some?
First off, why do you need the frame? Is yours rotted out?
Second aren't you the gent with the spring over? If so, 'usually' they
just leave the stock springs in there and flip the axle. Are you sure
you need replacement springs?

Re: Removing a lift, who wants some?
I would not say that it is "rotted out". there is some rust through and the
biggest problem is that some made a feeble attempt to repair it by welding
some metal strips in the rear over the axle. I would probably remove mine
and repair the one that I have and re-sell it. I could tear the whole thing
down, fix the frame and build it back up again. I do not want to do it that
way.
I dont have a spring-over. I'm the gent with the high lift and the big
tires that I'm trying to take down.
