    You could get your ute sitting on the rim easily. Any lower than that and it gets really bumpy due to your shock being at the end of its travel (presuming you have stock shocks). I hav my ute sitting on the rim with 19z and the ride isnt to bad.

    Tubular suspension do a set of drop in bags for the rear that don't need a compressor... you just fill them up as you need same as you do you're tyres.

    About 600-700 bux I think... the upside is you can have it as low as you want... an when you actually need to put something in the ute... you can pump them up and actually use it as a ute...

    Of course you haven't been pulled over, it's so low you can't drive it anywhere...

    lol i almost bought those springs but decided to get the ones just up from them...i took the bump stops out, it lowered it another inch but then the lower control arm was hitting the chassis rail and that made some big noises haha so i wouldn't do it.
