Ok, this probably sounds like the stupidest question ever, but I have never in my life ever bothered to look underneath a leaf sprung car. This XY im looking at has been lifted with a extra leaf apparently, the rear guards are a good 3 inches above the tyre, while the front end has been lowered with king springs (back in the 80's stylez)
Before I drive the sucker to Qld, i just wanna drop the arse to match the front. How do I go about this?

Introducing the Boss 290 powerplant
The Boss 290 combines the best of both worlds, with race-bred power and everyday comfort. The awe-inspiring Boss 290 is a powerplant unlike any ever built in this country and comes to life on Australia's only current V8 production line.
I imagine lowering blocks would be the easiest, but resetting the leaf springs is the best option yes? Do your normal suspension shops like pedders do this kind of stuff? Whats actually involved?
Why didnt they just build these things with springs? haha
drop the ass by bringing up a pallet of beer .,most utes have 5 leaf rear or 7 leaf. if u have air shocks it will also be able to be raised or lowered in 2 secs.
It will need to be lowered anyway, might as well get it done before i strip it. I'll go to my local suspension places when the sale goes through and get their opinions.
Why in god's name would you bother? Nothing wrong with lowering blocks, reset or lowered leafs.
hey mate. I love your "hate Greg Murphy" club!!! Can I join. Out of curiousity, is it because he drives a holden or just because he's an arrogant pig? Would you like him any more if he drove a Ford?

I have nothing against Holden drivers (I think Bright is great) but Murphy is just a dick I didn't start the club, but I'm pretty sure that anyone is free to join.
