I have no idea on the standard ride height. But the springs will depend on the weight you put on and that will be different in your case anyway. But the closest would be the XR4x4 weight I assume. On fitment there is no difference between 2wd and 4x4 springs anyway. If you fit lowering springs the weight difference doesn't matter that much for the ride height.



Obviously the actual internal cv bearing initially will be emitted as a 2wd application. When running the complete 4x4 setup everything will be reconnected.

Maybe this will better alternative than to try and mix and match tca ball joints
the cv can will be open and hollow maybe could pressfit some sort of blank onto it

to your knowledge do you think there is any risk of the hub popping off while driving? No, that should be fine. A lot of people have converted 4x4 Cosworths to 2wd by taking the driveshafts off (and of course fitting a 2wd gearbox). Some have machined the stub axle to remove the part where the CV joint goes for it to look a bit nicer.

Does anyone have pics to share on the setup I'm after. If you search for it you should be able to find some pictures of a 4x4 to 2wd converted Cosworth with the CV joints machined.
