Ok removing the spacers in front struts would lower it some ? Do I have to do anything to the rear to match ? Can I take the airbags out or will I be missing parts if I do ?

Is the rear lower if the airbags are deflated? Looks like a big spacer under the rear leaf spring?

Sorry I’m new to this do you know where my switch would be to deflate air bags ? Yes it does seem like a big spacer under the spring ? Do I need any extra parts to take spacers out in front and big spacer on rear ? Would all of this put a lot less stress on axles ?

Don’t know where your switch would be.

You would need new u bolts, u bolt nuts, factory rear block.

I don’t know what it takes to clear 37s so hopefully someone can chime in.

Ok that’s for the rear you mean? So I could take out that huge block and put factory one and still keep airbags ? When I take spacers out from the front how much will I drop ? Will I need any factory parts up there ?

Trying to be civil here, but your truck seems to have a lot of issues based on how it was lifted. (Horrible CV angles, oily fluids on shocks, springs, airbags indicating something is leaking in several different locations). I hope you got a really good deal because it might cost a bit to get it inspected and fixed correctly.

EDIT: Do you have any pictures of the truck from further back?

The truck just got safetied last week . Just had it oil sprayed last week so that why oil all over everything. The front driver side boot is what it needed for a safety. That is the one that seems to be still leaking. The airbags were installed because the previous owner towed a small boat sometimes.
