    Default King springs

    So i happened to come accross a set of King Springs.

    I got

    Two brand new KHRL- 152 SSSL

    Two 10k km KHRL- 152 SSL


    now the guy who i got these off said that the SSSL is for the fronts, but after a bit of reading i have found that the product code for the front is different to what king springs recomends. by this i mean KING SPRINGS SAY: KHFL-150 SSSL ARE FOR THE FRONT.

    my questions is. are the KHRL 152 SSSL compatible with the front or have i got myself in a pickle
    all help appreciated

    I think you will find that they are both rear sets mate.
    I believe that khfl-150ssl is the fronts that you would be chasing.
    And you will find that khrl-152ssl is super low while khrl-152sssl are the ultra low.

    So front end is raised? Not a good option. I can tell you that when towing a heavy load, the more clearance in the back the better. The rear drops in line with the front. If you are going to reduce the rear clearance, logic would then dictate you can't carry large loads or tow with a great deal of confidence.

    If it is a show car only (not driven at speed, no passengers, doesn't tow) then it could logically be configured to do this. May look strange.....

    Check your insurance policy - with a skatey front end due to altered balance of the vehicle there may be issues.

    Do front and back to match.

    well front end isnt raised cause currently the ute looks like it is higher at the rear end. by just doing the back it will make it lookn straight
