ive heard super lows will drop it 40mm? this would be ideal can anyone confirm this and confirm that you dont need to change shocks as the drop isnt too drastic>?

Your will need to change the shocks & strut inserts to short stop for the SL Kings

Refer to this thread at post #18 http://forums.justcommodores.com.au...-1988-1993/197975-strut-tops.html#post2223860 :- as I posted pics of install & heights etc

ok cool at the moment the front is 360mm from centre to guard and the back is 410mm centre to guard. so id be looking at the SSL to even it out right?

Yep that would be about right. Kings springs do vary in height by as much as + or- 10mm. Be sure to get the HD type for ur Ute as they are a different rating to sedans/wagons.
