Here's a link to prices for doing it properly, otherwise you can get your springs compressed (or whatever they do) at tyre factory for around $350 if your on a budget. Your best bet would be to get new springs and shocks as your stock shocks wont last too long once lowered, i found that out the hard way
http://www.aussiecar.com/fordsuspension.html P.S Check with your insurance to see how low you can go. My old insurance cancelled mine because i went lower than 30mm which was against their policy. Mark |

well aparently (someone told me and a few forum guys I know have had it done for ages no problems).. if you get it lowered only about an inch or so, so that its a nice level you dont need to get shocks aswell, just springs.
If you just want springs theres good dobinson springs on ebay for cheap |

My ute went down around 2" (if not more) at the back so i was basing it on that, and i thought being a xt it would be a big drop (compared to a XR)

Those prices on that link are very comparable to a leading suspension group around australia that may\may not use a bull as an icon.

Well you need a chamber kit at the front otherwise you could get wear on the inner edge of your tyres. Craig @ ACE uses top quality stuff, the chamber kit alone is around $400 and takes minutes to adjust and he uses king springs.
I also went to pedders and to be honest they were a useless lot, could have just been the store i went to but the guy had no idea. He didnt really know how to lower a ute and said i'll need lowering blocks and it would cost me over $1000 all up

camber kit $400
 i need one of them as mine is out a fair bit after chucking 17's on (and not even lowering yet) after a wheel allign they said the camber was out a fair bit. it wanders a little and vibrates at hwy speed.
is there any kits or places that would be a bit cheaper. Thanks Ben
