Yea agree. I didn't want to be the first to say. But needs more low. Then would be a lovely example

Haha yeah I know. Guard has is the killer, I'm going to drop my leafs off to Snell springs hopefully this week to get reset an inch lower and to put another couple of leafs in, then I'll wind down the front another inch and a half and it should be allright!

Good man but take 2 inch out of the leaves! Then use blocks to fine tune.

Yeah I would if I could Andy, But my leafs are almost straight at the moment and I don't think the shop would reset them so much so that they would rest inverted with weight on haha. But I'll ask them anyway. Then I'll have to sort out a bump stop so I don't get the diff smashing the floor over every bump haha. Do you ever get the diff hitting the floor on your sedan?

Yeah you have to hit the floor up, take the huge gay factory diff bump stop off. and put smaller ones somewhere else. Have you got 2 inch blocks already?

Did you just smack the hell out of it with a big hammer? I don't have a bump stop above the diff at the moment but I think I have a ke25 diff bump stop lying around which is really small, so I'll probably put that in. I've got 1 and a half inch blocks in at the moment, but I want to go atleast another inch lower all round. Then it should be looking loose!
