hardcore Member 92 Member For: 17y 1m 20d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/10 07:05 AM Author Share Posted 14/08/10 07:05 AM Stick yr head under the rear-if you can get under there, or a mirror-pinch the misses little make up compact mirror.If you have lowering blocks you will see them between the axel tube and leaf springs where they meet. The springs are clamped to the axel tube directly, so if there is a metal block, about 50mm square? in between the two then you have blocks.Here are some pics can someone tell from these what has been done? or do I need better pics?Added one to show height off exhaust Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69573-raising-a-lowered-bfmk2-ute/page/2/#findComment-1032531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some standard fronts and rears. Quoted $450 to raise at local pedders.

Basically making them less curved. Normally they add an extra leaf too.
