Just wanting a bit of advice so I don't go breaking anything lol... How many springs and WHICH ones should I flip to make my ute sit roughly 120 - 130mm off the ground? Any answers would be awesome. Sick of it being standard height. Also, I've chopped my over ride springs, and wedged them up above the leafs. Is that gunna be an issue?

Can get the leafs reset to save a bit.

Utes are sketchy enough as is from what I've read.
