Coming along nice mate you are getting a lot done at the moment.
You may have to go 15's mate that tie rod is real close even with the 15's on my FC and the 16's on EK the ute they are close.

250kg of lazy yank iron in the hole up front will help a bit

I dunno... add a Moon tank, a straight axle and some fenderwell headers and that stance would make a good start to a gasser
.

Hey Gaz,
Still got plenty of stuff missing so it will come down a bit more.
Going well and looking the goods although.

looking way cool - Pedders do a shorter spring if you want to drop down a bit or you can chop them but I dont like chopping them as they tend to never sit right even if ground flat - better with proper flattened and closed ends.
You will find me lost somewhere!

Just heat up the spring with the gas axe til it drops. You know the drill.

Thanks gents
I actually have a set of lowered springs in the shed. Plan is to get the ute running, take it for a drive and see how it settles.
Rear springs have been reset 2 1/2 inches lower already
More updates soon
