hi all, just i am at the stage of lowering my 1200 ute. i have 17" wheels on it and the front is looking good. wanted to know what you guy have done to get the back sitting nice??!! i wanted to have the guard sitting just on the rim.. what should be done?? get the leaf springs reset?? if so how much?? or do i do the leaf springs and add some lowering blocks??

anyone that has tried please let me know what worked best.

i am mainly interested in the measurement of how much it has to come down.. thanks all. cheers..

load up the tray with heavy stuff ..... bags of cement are good, till its at the height you want, measure from centre of the wheel to the lip of the guard and then visit you local suspesion place with that measurment in regard to how much lower you want your rear springs ie : 2" 2.5" etc etc. they'll tell you if they can, give you a price, and bob's someones uncle .......... if they cant go as low as you want, see how far they can then add lowering blocks to suit

while the trays full of stuff, give it a few good bounces to see if anything hits and rubs underneath, nothing worse than getting it looking good to only find out you cant drive it over a bump without it scrubbing the tyres to bits on the inside of the guards.
should cost between $200 - 300
