ive read on tech wiki that you flip 2nd bottom leaf onto top and add another leaf where it was. what happens if you don't get an extra leaf? is there any danger in not getting another leaf?

i did it in my ute but i just took the bottom leaf flipped it and put it back on the top, dropped the car a bit over 2" but i will give you one comment about it "DONT DO IT" makes the back of the ute to bouncy and #OOPS# when going around corners. I have new shocks in the back as well so i know it isnt from the shocks either. Either get them lowered or if you dont want to do that then get lowering blocks for it. Im going to be putting my blocks back in this wkend coming after finishing my engine swap

Just add the second shortest leaf ( flip it and put on top) from another pack say 120y or 1200 ones. It will lower the car and also make it pretty stiff in the rear end. I've done it to 2 of my 1200s and it made a huge difference. Or just get lowering blocks.

I added the ute load leaf to the bottom of my sedan pack, then flipped the 2nd from Bottom onto top.
In a ute you have 4 leaves sedan only 3. No need to add a leaf in ute.
The jiggly nature will be the empty tray skipping around.
Also new shocks if not suited for shortened ride height wont be doing too much as the won't have full travel.

It's not the best solution but IMHO it rides better than blocks in my car as I wanted lower but stiffer due to towing a trailer some times.
