if you keep the standed main leaf, your shackles will cope with any height you want..

haha,
bit of a hookie ay?

Ah Pepper thats priceless!!GOT A TEAR RUNNING DOWN MY CHEEK

the 3inchs drop doesnt equal 3 inch back, i have mine reset 3- 3.5 inchs and its almost the same as standard

awww
okay my mistake
cool (Y)
thanks dudes :)
btw i love your ute, what did you get the flares off?

no no no no, just because your resetting the spring 3 inches lower doesent mean that the spring will be 3 inches longer. the spring is only getting flatter, which will make it slightly longer, but not a lot at all.

if it made that much difference im gonna get my third leg straightened if it adds 3 inches.

yeah i do get it dude

just that if the spring gets lowered 3 inches, then the spring would be 3 longer? then the swing arm would be pushed back 3 inches, thus almost hitting the chassis?

yes! the spring would be slightly longer, but the hangers at the rear of the spring move to compensate for the changes.
look at the difference between the front spring mount and the rear one, think about how it all will move and it will become clear.

yes i understand this,
but if i was to get the springs to be set like 3 inches lower, wouldnt that push the swing arm back much further instead of being straight, this is when the car is standing still

To answer both questions:
Yes
Yes
Just as they go back and forth as you are motoring along over bumps.
