    Default Ute Dumped?

    hi, just wondering if anyone out there has a ute that's sitting on superlow or ultralow springs? if so are there any problems you have encountered doing so? and does anyone have pictures of a ute at this height as i have been lookin and cannot find one anywere.

    thanks.

    that looks really nice mate, thats the look im after, are those 18's? ive got 17 on at the moment, i have noticed however that my bump stops have been cut down (assuming there these rubber things right near the spring) as if the previous owner has had lower springs in it.

    depends what profile tyres you have on the 17's if your running low profiles then it will be lower.. the bump stops you got on now should be right if there cut down.

    235,45 i thinkk, im pretty sure thats them. im really interested in gettin this done, it isnt all that expensive either, 300 should cover the springs alone shouldnt it?

    yep, the rear springs will fall out tho unless you run shortened shocks in the rear..

    Cable ties can fix that problem, just curious what does everyone notice with shortened rear shocks? Is it much better ride quality? Same with front?
