if i wish to the lower the body 1inchs how much do i cut off the springs? is that the correct way to lower the body?

nah the best way to lower your ute is to go see King springs they have lowered springs for 1200's, they are about $90 for the pair, as then they are legal.

You can also get yours re-wound (compressed) so that then they are still legal and are the height you want....

can also try suspension places..in melb theres a place that custom makes springs to any stiffness and any height...About $100 a pair fitted..

If you do cut yours, do it step by step...only cut of a half coil or so at a time...then lower and check....

If you're really worried about the spring falling out, then use cable ties on the bottom spring perch to hold them in place.

I cut mine down about 3 inches and have never had the springs fall out ever... Although l don't recommend this!!
