beauies Member 209 Member For: 21y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 07/03/09 12:47 PM Share Posted 07/03/09 12:47 PM I have a set of leaf springs that I had made up but deemed them to low for what I want. These springs were on my ute with standard 17inch wheels and from memory I think the tyre was 1/3 of the way into the guard. These springs also had the extra leaf for anti tramp I think.PM me if your interested these springs are in the hills area of sydney Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55424-lowering-ba-ute-more/#findComment-837525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
