I carry approx 500kg including my boxes, tools and ladders. No problem at all. I don't gutter jump though. Who would with a car like these.

tasvalowna Member 27 Member For: 13y 6m 8d Posted 17/05/11 12:34 PM Author Share Posted 17/05/11 12:34 PM I didnt really mean gutter jump but you know when youre at a job site and you need to get up over the gutter to get closer to the job or to even get a park? that's all I meant. I ordered the ute today and also ordered some standard size 17x8 rims that are load rated to 880 kg each , so they will be fine at least there will be a fair side wall for potholes and gravel roads. There will be a 2ish week wait but then I will get the tub removed and get the flat tray built,fit the box off my rodeo and get that extended to fit the longer tray.then work out whats the best with the springs after I see how it sits.I need to lodge the paperwork to transport but ideally I would do this and then get the standard springs re set at a local mob who specialises in that sorta thing . that's not what I really told transport but its the way I would prefer as they will set them so the ute sits how I want it.if I put the 1 tonne springs in and it site too high then I will ahve to use lowering blocks to bring it down - seems a bit silly .....Anyway I will post some pics as I sort it out for those that are interestedben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some good rear suspension and get some quality rims. Oem are the best. These are 20x9.5's rear Edited 17/05/11 09:01 PM by SMURF6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are 20x9.5's rearfrom what ive been told none of the oem falcon rims are tonne rated exept for the steel 16''that's why they offer the mullins range as a dealer option.I have ordered some 17x8 from advanti that are 1 tonne ratedthey were less than half the price that ford wanted for a mullins equivalent and a better looking wheel in my opinionI have also ordered the suspension parts from Fulcrum Suspension via Bursons and was about $400 less than factory ford springsits all underway , should pick up the ute next weekyahooben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
