    You may take up the floor, remove the closet bend, flange and reduce down to 2". You may then add a 2" trap and raiser to pick up the shower drain. Know of no "conversion kit" that will do as you ask. In fact , in all the years I've been answering plumbing questions this is the first time this question has ever been asked, But if you reduce down to 2" there's no reason it won't work. Good luck, Tom

    The way you described what you want to do every thing is going to be a "Hard Fix" If you don't want to be out a lot of labor extend the commode rizer up and put a four inch drain ontop of it and make the shower base out of tile so that it can be slanted to the drain from all four corners.

    After thinking it over I found a major flaw in Letmetellus solution. If you did it his way you would have a direct opening from the city sewer into your home letting sewer gas enter. The 4" drain wouldn't be trapped but it sure sounded good when I first looked at it. I still hafta give "Lemmie" a pat on the back for thinking outside the box on this one. Regards, Tom
