    What springs did you put in mate? Did you change your shocks too or leave them stock?
    SSV rims will look tough in silver mate, can't wait to see them.

    Im not actuelly sure what they are, Pedders dnt put them under classes like King Springs! I can get the serial number if ya like?. If memory serves me right they r very close to Ultra lows..
    Na mate changed the shockys! Sports Rider short travel ones. Standered shocks had to much Travel and was allowing the spring to Pop out, even with these shocks in the spring becomes loose :/..
    I cant wait either

    Hey mate,

    That looks so good with the 19"s on it! I have a VS ute as well and I have a choice of getting some 18" VYss wheels or the same 19"s as you, and i really want the 19"s. I cant find any straight answers on how to do it. So I was wondering if you could help me out with how you went about it, like with machining the hubs, getting the right nuts to fit and getting lock nuts, rolling the guards (if needed), and if you had any trouble with the studs. Also if you have any speedo problems or insurance problems?

    The more detail the better!! Haha thanks heaps!

    Love the ute!!
