#1 LOWERED LEAF SPRINGS
bobthebuilder Posted on: 2008/8/13 10:39
Hi guys
Just had the rear springs in the ute reset and now the springs are near flat and resting on the over ride springs. will these springs still work even though under load the camber will be opposite than standard?
Also any ideas on what shock absorbers to use on the rear?
Thanks
Bob

Hi tyrie
I'm talking about the camber in the spring.
Under load the bow in the springs will be opposite to normal .Is this an issue ?

Howdy Fellas,
This might be a dumb question.
Why reset the springs? I used 2" lowering blocks and a trailing arm to stop spring wind up and it worked great.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff
Had the springs reset as I reckon lowering blocks will lead to axle tramp under heavy acceleration. It just seems unusual to have springs so they look like they are upside down. Did a bit of a google search but can't find any useful information
Cheers
Bob
