I am using AVO springs on a 2wd (std road height). These on mine look correct. I can see no reason why they would be different on the 4x4, but check.

I believe that you are correct that the std height of a 2wd is lower than that of a 4x4.

My only observation is that I would not want it significantly lower than std - Ford better at design than others!

I agree Jim - my 2wd handles better ( for me at least ) at std ride height than it did when it was lowered
