One way is to just reverse your scrip:

=IF(B2>=4000,"D",IF(B2>=3000,"C",IF(B2>=2000,"B",IF(B2>=1000,"A",""))))

Another method, which is more flexible, is to use a lookup table. Then you
can, if necessary, expand the formula to include many levels of conditions.

=IF(B2>=1000,VLOOKUP(B2,H1:I4,2),"")

Where H1:I4 contains:

1000 A
2000 B
3000 C
4000 D
