    I have a 6” rough country lift kit on my 2014 Tundra. Can you lower a rough country 6” lift using the existing kit? Just need to drop it down to maybe 4” so i can still park the truck in my garage with the leitner bedrack. Thanks in advance.

    Most likely not as the subframe has been cut.

    Shouldn't matter if it's cut

    Depends exactly which kit you got. If you have spacers up front, try going with smaller spacers. If you got the coilovers, reduce the preload and get bigger bump stops to prevent the shocks from bottoming out.

    For the rear just get a block that’s 2” shorter and swap them out. Might need to get bigger bump stops in the rear as well.

    The RC 4.5" and 6" lift kit (along with many others) is the same except for a few easily swappable parts.

    But what Cruzer said above is the correct info to solve the problem, so i wont bother repeating it.
