Is it possible to switch out 6" springs with 4" coil springs?

I have a 6" suspension lift in my 06 f350. i was curious to know if i can just swap the springs for 4" coil springs. Idk if i would have to get different radius arms then what my lift has, also will pitman arm and trac bar drop still work ? Thanks

It should work fine. It will change your caster some but that wont cause tire wear. You will have to adjust your track bar shorter to recenter your steering wheel.

I'm thinking of doing this too. To try to get the factory rake back.

I just want the new wheels and tires to fill the gaps better. These 35s look small but i couldn't pass on such a deal
