Maybe try different shocks. I've never had my ute tramp on me, even doing 2.0 60fts. Mines still stock height though but will be getting lowered soon.

I was meaning to try the stock springs with some lowering blocks, but never got around to it. technically that shouldn't work, but I thought it's worth a try.

How much did you have the leafs lowered? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71275-bf-ute-axle-tramp/#findComment-1050608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top of the tyre is in line with the guard on the front and I can get my fingers flat on top of the tyre at rear with the top side of fingers touching the guard. So it is sitting pretty much level. I wanted to have that back slightly higher look like they normally have but it didnt happen.sorry bout photo dont know what happened.Can still carry 2 bikes without an issue but you need the shorter than std shock in the rear to make up for the loss of travel in the std one.
