Hey I have a 1000 ute that I am working on, how do you lower the front end?

1000 ute has torsion bars? piece of piss, just wind them down (evenly)

Quote:
I dont think so buddy.
No torsion bars on any 1000

you could take the leaf sping out of the car then you just revese the second leaf and put it back together.
iv seen this work on the rear of leaf spring cars so i cant see it woulnt work on a transverse leaf at the front.

Now that is the dumbest idea if you want your car to be ilegal follow that guys instructions. what you need to do is sort out how low you want it then get some lowering blocks 50mm is the lowest (legally) then you need to get bigger "u" bolts piece of piss man

Now that itself is the dumbest idea. I dont know how flipping a leaf would be illegal. But I can see that if you were to put loweing blocks and bigger? U bolts into a 1000 front end - you would now be stupid and illegal. There is nowhere to put blocks on a 1000 front end that will lower it and there is no U bolts either.

dono where your from but here its ilegal to flip leafs and why wouldnt there be a place to put the block?

So you do no where I am from? Gee
And the 1000 crossmember sits ontop of the spring centre. Only place for a block is between there or under the ends of the spring. Doing either will raise the front end.

Maybe think and better yet KNOW about what you are saying, before you say some advice is a dumb idea.
