You can only get Lows or Super Lows for the front, and Lows for the rear, then you have to reset the rear to match the front. But that also means you can just reset the standard leafs to match anyway. No dramas with speed humps, the front nose gets pulled upwards the lower you make the back. I have 130mm ground clearance.

Only SL available and since the SLs drop you as low as the car can go SSL is not an option, except for looks. But I havn't seen any SSL utes that are lower than mine, in fact they are fenerally 10mm higher!However, there was no SL leafs available when I got my ute lowered, so I had to reset the rears. Different story now. Fronts are still SL. And I have lowered my ute twice.

At least that's the way I'm reading it...Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20521-lowering-the-ute/page/2/#findComment-303090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
