Lowering the B2200 no blocks no cash. Leaf Spring Lowering.

Let’s go low low on the leaf springs. Not a leaf spring flip and not a reset. More of a delete and a shuffle ? Once you have the leaves apart you can mess around and work out how and where you want the leaves. Adding or removing as you go to get the desired result. I got mine close so I’m going to add the heavy duty big bore shocks and see how much it settles. Hope this helps someone looking to lower their Ute or minitruck for the first time. You can still add blocks to this if you like depending on your set up every chassis is different.
Just remember to stay safe ! Don’t do this or any other modifications if you don’t feel comfortable safe or responsible for your own action.

How have you done the front?

[@lowluckgarage]

It just has lowered springs. Unfortunately from a petrol model so they are not actually lowered coils just sagging from the weight of the diesel. Removed the bump stops. And welded in a shock extension so the heavy duty short travel shocks have full travel. I’m going to go back and make a few adjustments maybe coil overs ? I think the tie rod ends will need to relocated to stop them from binding.

@@lowluckgarage sweet, I’m trying to get my b1600 on its arse but because I’m running a 12a it’s heaps lighter. I’ve already chopped the coils to barely captive. I’m going to try some lighter spring rate coils out of another car to see if that helps. I have another one that’s getting bagged. Love the stance of yours

@@pj3635 We have the total opposite of problems when it comes to coils. The rotary is lite even though people say it’s not. I can lift an FD 13b with no hot or cold sides and no accessories. I have had a quick measure and look at the coils and you may be able to use E series falcon fronts ea eb ed Ef el. May be lite enough once you halve them. But live axle commodores have a similar size coil to the falcon fronts. VR VS commodores and if they are stock or stock replacements they are pretty lite coils. Worth a look if you have a local wrecker and can check them out see if they will work.
