Hey all,
Im looking to get my ute lower at the rear end, and was wondering what you guys have done to your utes to make them sit quite low.

I believe i just have 2 inch blocks, and nothing else touched.
Heres a pic (Copy and paste the link into your browser, sorry not sure how to make direct pictures on this forum) -

This is how i want it to sit -

And finally, here is a pic UNDER my ute, so if you gurus could have a look at this pic, and shedd some light on it, and how to lower it more, please share!

(Was thinking 3inch blocks, but anything else?)
Sorry about my lack of knowledge on leaf springs, i've only owned 1600s before my ute.

What have you guys done? and show some pics of how low your utes sit.
Mike

I've got 2" lowering blocks, Koni red shocks and the overider springs have been removed. I also have a Caltrac set up on an R31 diff. The tyres are about 15mm below the guards at a guess. Handles beautifully!
Wil post a few photos up tomorrow if I remember.
