Firstly - Can anyone tell me how much does spring flipping, as per the tech wiki method, lower the rear end by?

Secondly - Any major problem just cutting the front spring to lower it by 50mm?
I've got a longer spare set from the 200B struts I fitted that I could try with.

The end result I'm after is the ute to be level, so the back will need to come down 70-75mm
If this is not enough i'll go with getting them reset somewhere in Melbourne

Cheers David

Get about 2 inches almost from flipping.
Get Gemini fronts or 200b rear springs if chopping but they wont be captive with out shorter shocks.

Good luck.

If your going to lower the front 50mm your going to bottom the shock out on big bumps so just be carful of that! The same with rear shocks 70~75mm is a lot of travel reduced to shock
My 2 cents!
Coilovers and shorter struts/shocks in front and shorter rear shocks and reset leafs is better as well just depends on your budget

Thanks for the replies.
limited shock travel is ok but not being captive on full suspension droop was my worry. Will look for the shorter strut option.
