Default Going from 6.5" lift down to 4-4.5

I bought a '93 xj with a 6.5 lift on 35's and I don't mind it, but that size of lift is impractical for family use. I'd like to go to 4 - 4.5" lift on 33's. Looking for any suggestions, experience on doing so. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We would need a bit more info on your setup to continue...I know you just bought it, but can you tell us more about it? What kind of lift, shocks, steering setup, etc?
