Lowering An Fg Xr6 Turbo Ute

[Mattxr6turbo12]

Looking at putting 1.5-2" lowering blocks in the back end. It's a 2008 fg xr6 turbo. I'm unsure if I have to change shocks and a few other things, and I've also heard that it doesn't do no good to the tail shaft

Don't do lowering blocks do it right you 2nd have all sorts of issues down the track

Can I put coil springs in the rear of my xr6t ute to lower it? And how if you can.

No.

These utes run a 'leaf spring' rear end. Depending on how low you want to go you have a few options

• add lowering block (not ideal)
• get your standard leaf springs reset (generally a cheaper alternative to replacing)
• replace your standard leaf springs with an aftermarket set (king springs or pedders)

Best off talking to a suspension specialist to work out which way to go depending on what you want out of it.

Talk to Pat (senna_T ) at wholesale suspension, he's a great guy to deal with.

Sucks ey, coil springs are like a hundred bucks.

leaf spring reset is $400 odd, new leafs $700 or so

Was when I had a ute anyway..
