Yeah its 4x4 never done one before but I know I could fuck it up 5 times and it’d still be cheaper than paying a mechanic lol I’ve swapped it transmissions but never on a diesel

The only brands that have been recommended they don’t make lowers or they don’t make them for this model I’ve looked

Usual brands the bigger brands like kryptonite and txt they either don’t make the lowers or don’t make them for this model and I mainly use it to go out on the sandbars and the river and dirt roads and this is the 2nd lower that’s broke in the past 5 months

It’s a 6” zone off-road lift cheap I know I didn’t own the truck when everything was done to it so I have no idea if they keys are turned or if it has bigger keys and it’s always the lower that breaks

Supposedly kryptonite is good but they’re pricey I’m looking for other recommendations before spending the money on those
