With the issues around axel tramping, reset rears will only contribute to the problem. In my opinion, the only option to lower the rear of an FG is a set of kings superlows or see Pedders for their pricey set up. In addition to this, the poleurathane bushes must also be replaced. Im not sure if the Pedders option is worth all that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only going sl though. I am very worried about the cv issue though. I hope by putti g in new leafs and not resetting the old ones I might get away with it.

Axle tramp is a concern but it seems to be happening with std and aftermarket leaves.. My old ones were reset to about SSL height and never had a problem... For sure I could be the odd one out, but I doubt it..$2600 and 26 settings for suspension ? I am thinking this could be good value in a pissing contest at the local hangout, or on the track.. but that would be about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
