Hi guys just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to get my 1200 ute rear end lower? At the moment its got reset (almost flat) leaves and 1.5inch lowering blocks I would prefer not to use bigger lowering blocks. Id be happy if I could get it another 2inches lower. Ive looked into reversing the spring eyes but the front spring mount looks like it will be an issue. Any advice would be appreciated

4" reset leaf springs is really as far as anyone should go in my opinion.

Don't use lowering blocks or flip springs, just leave them as is, reset.
