Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Question about truck lift kits....
Thinking about a newer truck and a 2013 Silverado 1500 Club Cab 4x4 has my eye. I like everything about it, except it's lifted 8 inches. Probably be cool for awhile, but I think I'd get tired of it quickly.
So, can a lift kit be removed and the truck restored to normal? Or maybe changed to 4" or 2"? Everything else, age/mileage/price/color/options/etc. are right what I want.

It depends on how it is lifted. It can be changed back to stock. How is it lifted is the question. Pictures of the undercarriage would necessary to say what would have to be done. Maybe some other members can chime in.

8 inch lift probably has larger tires, larger tires often means a gear change.
Lots there to think about.

Yeah, that's just it - I don't know jack shit about lifts. Only seen it once, in the dark. The front looked like it has some big flanged tube-type spacers. I'll go back and get fotos.

8" on that truck is huge. From what I gather from your post, if I was you, I'd be looking for a stocker.
Yeah, a stocker is definitely preferable over the Viagra Kit. And even though the big tires are brand-spanking-new and still have the lettering on the tread, replacements will be pricey. And alignment issues, and other wear/tear. And it probably rides like hell.
Then there's the voice of my Daddy in my ear saying "you need that like you need another tit!"
Think I've talked myself out of it.....

8' lift is huge. Going to take a lot to get it back to stock. Also what I have found in the past if remove the lift and go back to stock it will most likely need all new ball joints, tie rods, steering linkage, pretty much anything with a joint in it. They get worn out from those extreme angles. Going back to stock that thing will probably wonder all over the road until all of that is replaced.

Right on - you don't strike me as the flat biller bro type.
You don't want to drive a "Bro-Doser"? Lol.
I love lifted trucks but as I have gotten older not wandering all over the road and ride quality have become more important.
