I make the ute even more impractical | 1" lowering blocks | Leaf springs already reset flat

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

As much as I love low cars, there comes a point in terms of drivability, I've learnt this myself in the last couple of months! Cheers for sharing mate and keep on keeping on!

[@lunch2102]

Looks tuff AF, the rear is very similar height as mine but your front is lower, I've still got my bump stops, I've never hit them and it's been down there for years.

[@tonzilla89]

Makes me proud to be a Queenslander. Looks tough as brus, will be doing this to my Hilux shortly 👍

[@mynamea.n.s.s5472]

Good Eye 2 know that the front needs to go just that little bit down but I would’ve doubled the size of the spacer too low for me

I have a 50th anniversary ute what size blocks do you use and where do you get them.

[@moldzvlogz]

Block size depends on how low you want to go. I just got mine from eBay.

Hi , did you have any issues with the leaf spring plate fouling on the inner rim . Ive just put in 2.5 inch blocks with 20 inch wheels and hitting the rim ?

[@moldzvlogz]

Hey mate no I didn’t but a lot of people do, 2.5” is probably too big of a block to run. You will need to get lowered or reset leaf springs

[@rickcannon823]

How did it get so low with just 1"blocks,? Had the springs already been lowered?

[@moldzvlogz]

Yep, leaf springs were already reset to flat.

[@adambicanic5077]

So can you adjust the height on the bc coilover shocks in the rear ?

[@moldzvlogz]

Yeah mate, can adjust the shock length.

[@jamiewalker9501]

did it already have lowered leafs in it or was that stock

[@moldzvlogz]

Had reset leafs in it before this video mate, they were reset pretty much flat. I got them off marketplace so couldn’t tell you how much by

[@jamiewalker9501]

@@moldzvlogz cheers, just looking to bring the arse down on my xr8 without breaking the bank, reckon 2" blocks with 20's would be fine with stock springs?

[@moldzvlogz]

@@jamiewalker9501 yeah should be okay you just need to watch out that the lower shock mount has clearance to the rim. That can be an issue. Keep your eyes peeled out on marketplace, I scored these for $150

[@jamiewalker9501]

@moldzvlogz awesome thanks mate, should be plenty of room for that it's pretty high in the rear, will do until I can get lowered leafs, will be down sizing the wheels from 20's to 18's as well I want meat on the tyres for my plans

@Moldz Vlogz Hey mate, silly question? But did ya Ute have lowered shocks and springs aswell? And do you think just lowering blocks is an option for a daily driver (ba wagon) would it drop much? instead of going the extra mile money wise on shocks and springs?

[@moldzvlogz]

Hey lad, yeah it had bc racing coilovers on the front with the bc adjustable shocks in the rear. Aswell as reset leaf springs. But you can definitely just whack some blocks in and it will lower it. Just if you go too far with just blocks the inner lip of the rim ( if stock ) will foul on the lower shock mount. But if you have 20’s or something bigger you’ll be a bit safer
