Its dropped 50mm from stock and is only 40mm off the bump stops.Because I want headroom to carry more weight I want some Heavier rated springs, then maybe quality airbags for the REALLY heavy stuff and to have fun bouncing up and down. (ill decide on that later) Airbags alone would be fine for daily use but wont cut it by them selves for anything extra. Don't quite want a 1tonn package but something beefier then the current sports pack.While I would love my Ute to be as low as possible I need the extra static weight capacity. Suspension currently feels really doughy, headlights are pointing up and mudflaps scrape going out my drivewayWhat leaves do people here have or had experience with? Do I have to replace shocks & stuff as well? Iv got tomorrow off work so ill try calling some manufacturers.Everyone in town know how to lower a ute, but not how to predictably raise one for increased GVM. lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88992-fg-ute-heavy-duty-leaves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been a week now so cannot say if it works or not. $70 on top of the resetting Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88992-fg-ute-heavy-duty-leaves/#findComment-1493176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't extremely heavy but when combined with the air bags you'll be apples. Give me a call in the office if you have no luck elsewherePat02 9831 8825 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88992-fg-ute-heavy-duty-leaves/#findComment-1493185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
