First experiment re-setting rear leaves. 1 1/2" lowered sedan spring. Uninstalled comparison with standard ute springs appears to be close to two inch lower which is my target.

you might find with the reduced spring rate it may be closer to 3" than 2 ???
....... not that theres anything wrong with that

Yeah might have to try mock them in prior to paint and assemble and see what I’m up for. While they are apart it is very easy to adjust the curve. Once they go back in the car I won’t be in a hurry to pull them out again that is for sure.

Going go try and fit these 235 60 14s under the rear, but the rims they are on are set up for lc lj diff. I will get them swapped on to some 7" Sampson's. Fronts are 185 65 14 to go on 6" rims to match the rear. Would have preferred taller say 75s. I may well have to review the rear spring set.

I tried 235's under the arse of my ute, they would rub going around corners and they were pretty well spot on in the centre of the wheel arch. I ended up with the 225's that are on it now.

Yer I’m trying to use these because I’ve got them. Can you say if they rubbed inside or outside? I could use these on the van which I plan to mini-tub. Ol’ mate had them on his FE ute with the torrie diff. He said they fit fine but I reckon he might have been running the pro stock stance. I want the arse low.
