rob666 Member 62 Member For: 16y 2m 14d Posted 21/08/10 05:06 AM Posted 21/08/10 05:06 AM So I just got my new FG XR6T ute. It has the 19" 50th anniversary wheels on it which aren't too bad. But really looking for some 20" 'dark argents'...More to the point, the ride height, needs to drop. What are my options for lowering? How much will I be looking at? Will it void my factory warranty? Cause any issues? If you guys could point me in the right direction and even put up pictures of their own rides lowered and with 20's (particularly FG utes) and what setup they have etc that would be awesome.THANKS!

sten Member 45 Member For: 16y 3m 19d Posted 27/08/10 01:38 AM Posted 27/08/10 01:38 AM I have been quoted $750 from pedders.That included replace front spings Not shocks. and adjust back leafs, then do a wheel alignment.I am not sure if a camber is required, so hopefully someine will reply who has done it already.I dont know how long the shocks will last either being the stock ones with the new shorter springs.Any other suggestions??Thanks Sten.

Lowered front with King springs and rears reset being a ute of course (BF II by the way). Didnt need to do camber as I havent lowered it too much, also remember if you level it out you could make it not so useable as a ute when loading it up.Check out the Ute section and there a lowering thread there with lots of photos of different peoples stuff. And Senna_T is definitely the man to talk to.
