Anyone Lowered An Fg Ute Yet?

[MA91CK]

New shocks and springs dude..

Looks great but only handles good now. Stock shocks will only handle so much!

Hey guys I just ordered my first ford ever, its a 2012 fg xr6 limited edition ute manual, I pick it up end of october !

Just wondering, and ive searched all over google for this answer, but does anyone actually know 100% if lowering the car voids any transmission/driveline parts? If it doesn't im obviously going to go ahead and lower it, couple questions with lowering, do I do lowering blocks? or is that just a cheap way of lowering it? im thinking sl's front ssl's rear, ill be towing a jet ski in summer and the very occasional trailer (like once or twice a year) im from vic/melb. cheers

I have just ordered SSSL for the front of my ute, how much of a reset do you guys reckon I need on the rear to match?

also what is the cost of a reset and can anyone recomend anyone good in perth. talked to pedders the other day, dont like the guys in there and they also told me they only lower cars to legal levels, which im 120% sure to match SSSL's will be way past illegal haha.

cheers, andy

you'll need to reset the rear leaves down around 60mm to get the ute sitting level

Try Wilkinson Suspension or WA Suspensions

I have an fg ute. Arebthenlowering blocks easy to fit. I saw airride in melb have them.

Is it a good move to use them, 1" lower and then stiffen the from somehow?
