Hey guys
So my 1200 pickup is getting work done to it, anyone have some suggestions as to what might be the best way to lower it, without having a need for a cert?
getting the leaves reset at the back, and running coupe disc brake struts.
Is there a good choice for springs and maybe shorter shocks????
any help would be most excellent
Will be running 13 inch wheels with 175 50's so that should mega help

n10 pulsar shock inserts, about 250-300 for a pair, 82mm shorter in body with only 10mm less shock travel, then shorten the shock aswell for max slam

How low do you want to go? Obviously not less than 100 mm. Id just roll 2" blocks in the back and then shorter springs and shortened shocks up front. Weekend job and no hassle. I have some 1200 king springs which I trimmed for the 120y which you can give a try? Was about 2" drop to match the blocks I had.
Or do it properly/slam it and get a cert

How about I reset the leaves and go from there beaver............??
haha, Will be keen to try your springs
Had a chat with mark, he reckons his ute ended up being like 100 to 120 off the floor, Pretty surprised at that. so effectively could achieve same look with no cert.
