Get it reset properly. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73265-lowering-blocks/#findComment-1080907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reset the leaves as mentioned is better option. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73265-lowering-blocks/#findComment-1080927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
