Ive recently lowered my 1200 ute bout 3.5-4'' all round. For the front i took my struts to autolign chch and got the strut housing shortened to jst above the spring seat and then got mk2 VW Golf munroe inserts installed to suit the shorter hsg. I got some 200lb springs custom made, but you could go with some cobras etc and gt them compressed if needed, ive got heaps of travel up front now even tho its fairly slammed. Because my setup is non-adjustable and iv still got 100mm clearance under the car (except exh) and good suspension travel i still get wof no probs and is all legit. I did note that with standard struts with springs removed it still had bout 90-100mm ground clearance. Rear is jst re-set leaves 2'' with 2'' blocks. Also ive jst installed a 120y sway-bar, id recommend doin it.
