Hey just wondering whats the best way to lower my front on my 1k ute? I've already got the rubbers between the spring and lower control arm cut but I want to go lower. I read on 1200.com about the hammering the spring to flatten it out, Does this work? Has anyone tryed this? Cheers

Cool, I think my leaf rests are cut about half, maybe need to cut them a bit more, I might go talk to an old bloke I know in Stanthorpe that's an old blacksmith so he can lower my springs. Hes made some springs for me for work a while ago.

Yeah I've seen the photos, looks good, yeah if you can measure your guard height that would help so good too. Can you also tell me what size tyres you run too? I can put it into my wheel/tyre calculator and see what the height of your wheels and tyres compared to my 15's. It should tell me it I'll get the height i want doing it the same as yours. Yeah I'm not sure whats involved in upping the spring rate, prob thicker springs to up the rate. I can ask this bloke what involved in upping the spring rate and how much to make.

Cheers mate, that would help so so much.

Thanks for measuring that for me, Yeah yours is a little lower then mine but it should be easily changed, I talked to the old blacksmith today and he said to bring the spring in and he'll look at them and give me a quote on resetting them and maybe stiffening them up too. I'll let you know how I go and what kind of price he asks. Cheers
