Stick yr head under the rear-if you can get under there, or a mirror-pinch the misses little make up compact mirror.If you have lowering blocks you will see them between the axel tube and leaf springs where they meet. The springs are clamped to the axel tube directly, so if there is a metal block, about 50mm square? in between the two then you have blocks.

Here are some pics can someone tell from these what has been done? or do I need better pics?

Added one to show height off exhaustpost-15240-128176948632_thumb.jpgpost-15240-128176950759_thumb.jpgpost-15240-128176944747_thumb.jpg

Your springs have been re-set, you will need to get them re-set back to factory or swap them as suggested with someone looking for lowered springs.

You should change the front springs too, otherwise the nose will be pointing to the ground

Hi Guys,

I know this is an old topic, Does anyone know if there are any guides for leaf spring replacement? similar to the front suspension one which has been done? I got some standard fronts and rears. Quoted $450 to raise at local pedders.

Heating the leaf springs and setting them to a new height. Basically making them less curved. Normally they add an extra leaf too.
