    Default king springs

    hello i just need a straight answer lol

    i just bought a ve ss ute and need to know if i put ultra lows in will it be ridiculously low on 18s ? i would like it to be on the tyre .
    also if anyone knows the measurement for rim to guard for them .
    i don't have a lot of money to spend atm so was thinking will just do the springs first then later on get monreo shocks when get a bit more cash.

    thank you

    What you save now in product, you'll spend later in labour - labour cost is roughly the same to fit springs and shocks as it is to just fit the springs - better off doing what I didn't do and fit the springs and shocks at the same time. GSL have some really good prices on kings/boge - have a chat to Greg - and just fork out the one labour charge.

    Everyone will have a different opinion. Grab a measurement of hub to guard front and rear and then a measurement of where you want the guard to be. Give the two sets of measurements to the spring supplier and they'll be able to match you with springs to suit.

    Also, if you want to carry anything significant in the back, think about HD springs back there.
