i have read everything on here about flipping leaf springs.
i just want to know which leafs did you flip (120y's have 4 leaf springs) and how low did this make your 120y? do you put the flipped leaf on the top of the leaf pack?
if you have any pics of your 120y with flipped leaf springs please post them.

P.S. Dont post comments on "how this is illeagal, how it might effect the performance, how i should get the main leaf re-set or to use lowering bocks".

hmm, i wonder what flipping the leafs does to the ride quality (you didn't forbid anybody from commenting on ride quality issues)

I used 4'' lowering blocks
Worked good but need spacers or use 16'' rims or bigger as it rubs on shock and u bolt mount thing.

If u dont care bout handling and illegal practices go with the lowering block.

4" of lowering block is waaaaaay too much, the shok mount will almost be on the ground.

I posted a pic recently of my flipped 120Y springs, look in my album. Would be good with a stock exhaust and make it nice and low, but my 2.5" system got stuck between the body and r31 diff so it wasnt feasable.

And be careful when compressing the leafs, could easily injure you if the pack came apart under tension.

i have to disagree shockmount is nowhere near the ground.Tyrie

I have big tyres on back and soon going even bigger

maybee with small wheels and tyres it might

but if ya wana flip ya leafs flip em

with the blocks i dont have any exhaust problems and im running a 3'' all the way and its dumped on the ground and still legal all the way around

haha yeh you got me there. i just dont want someone to say there not safe then have someone else say im still alive so they cant be that bad and then end up with with 2 pages of useless crap if you know what i mean.

Tyrie which leaves did you flip to get it this low in this pic?



this is my 120y one side of it is jacked up and i took a photo on my phone of how it sat on the other side. i dont want it this low. i kind of want the tyre just in the guard. not like in the pic where the rim is almost in there. i have 13" hotwires on the car too.





also Demo do you have any pics of your 120y with the 4" lowering blocks in it?

demo has a 1200 ute, there arses are in the sky from the factory so thats why he has such big blocks....the 120y wouldnt be able to fit 4 inch blocks

flipping the 2nd or 3rd leaf should do a good job

2nd leaf from the bottom now upside down on top. had to undo the tabs that hold the pack together but that was easy just used a tyre lever.

hardest part is clamping it all back together afterwards, needs a lot of force. I used 3 Gclamps but one of them snapped in half.

thanks for that PIGDOG. which leaf would make it lower the 2nd leaf or the 3rd (im assuming that when u say the 2nd leaf you mean the 2nd from the top). also do you place the flipped leaf back in the same position, where it came from or do you put it on the top of the pack?
