    I have a spring over right now and want to go back to stock height. I don’t off road at all so no need for the 31" tires and lift.

    After some reading seems the only thing a "really" need to replace is the pitman arm (and yes tires)

    Yes / no?

    and where to get one Advance auto parts (parts America) doesn't seem to carry them.

    If the pitman arm is bent in a S that one is for a lifted jeep, if it is straight that one is stock and you wont need to replace it.

    Depending upon what the previous owner did to address things, you may have to get a set of shocks. Also, look at your brake hoses to make sure they won't get pinched. That is, assuming that longer ones had been installed.
    I would be interested in anything you take off, but I'm pretty determined to convert mine to high-steer.
    Best of luck!

    It's cold out and I have no place to work indoors so the lowering will have to wait until spring. i don't recall the stock tire size so not sure if I can reuse the rims but my tires are 31x10.5 (not sure of the make).
    I'd like to go stock size but a but wider (just need to figure out the wide with out rubbing).

    I believe I have a pitman arm or two over here. Plus I have stock rims if you plan on going that route.
    If you do have a drop pitman arm, I'll trade ya. One of mine is going spring over.
