The shop that installed my BDS lift kit sent home all the stock parts that they took off/replaced from my truck. Can a lift kit be removed and the truck be reverted back to stock ride height and configuration with these parts? Or, should all this go to the scrap yard for a few bucks of scrap steel?

It can be re-used. More importantly, it can be re-sold :)

I still have the stock muffler collecting dust in the garage too. I like to keep the stuff around for the next guy if they want them.

I just wasn't sure if the lift could be removed and reverted back. Although I did sell the stock wheels and tires. These 35"s are not gonna fit if the next guy wants to go back to stock.

Once the crossmembers got cut, there's no turning back for me. The front shocks are missing the parts used on the Bilsteins and the springs, knuckles & differential crossmember are just taking up storage space in my shop. Would someone really reweld the crossmembers to go back to stock height?

That's kind of what I was thinking. I've never installed a lift kit, but I did watch some YouTubes and once they started cutting, I figured there was no going back.

I don't see that piece in your box to weld it back on.
