Hello all, first time post.

have googled and searched but couldnt really find what I was looking for...

I am looking at purchasing a BF F6 ute; stepping up from my mazda bravo minitruck.

however... I was talking to a friend today and he seemed to think the ford utes still had a leaf spring rear end, I thought surely not? but sure enough, pulled into a ford dealer on the way home and to my surprise they still are! I thought they would be irs by now...

my question! how low can these utes go while still driving nice? I don't want it bouncing all over the road like a minitruck.

any info/pictures are greatly appreciated.

cheers

ford have stuck with the leaf rear end because it can carry a little bit more weight than the irs system Expensive Daewoo uses.

If you want to go that low, be prepared to cop a unroadworthy on a weekly basis, not to the mention the damage it can do when something hits underneath.
