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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get the leafs reset to save a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utes are sketchy enough as is from what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
