Hi guys, after recently buying a ute it's proving a little bit too low for my liking. Off the floor it's fine, but the eyebrow height is a bit low for me.

In SA the legal requirements are 100mm off the floor. For eyebrow height, is at least 357mm front and 370mm rear.

What king spring would you recommend for the front? Pics would be awesome if you have a lowered BF ute. I'm assuming that I'd just need to get the rear leafs reset to match the height of the front springs.

I'll be using 19 inch rims if that matters.

Thanks everyone

Here is my new heights, I'll try remember to take a photo of whole vehicle tomorrow and post it against what it was.

Front 20mm drop from factory:

Rear 30-40mm drop from factory: (think it came out at 35mm drop but can't remember)

Finally got around to taking a pic.

So here it is when it had a 40mm drop front (King Springs KFFL-57SSL) and 60mm rear (leafs reset).

And now it sits like this with 20mm drop front (cobra spring) and 35mm drop rear (leafs reset)

Im in NZ and the old stuff is only the front springs which I have already sold. Leafs are just reset each time.
