Whats with the can?
Thats not the correct way to check vehicle ride height.

I don't follow...just thought that all structural parts minus the sump have to be above 100mm or do the bottom part of the leaf springs not count?
How do you measure the ride height?

Cellphone or with money between the wheel and arch.

Im no expert, but I would think that the leafsprings would be included in that 100mm, from the pics it looks like your lowering blocks are the issue there, but if you use smaller ones you will effectively raise the ute, to save me going through your thread, are you trying to do this without cert? if so you will need to raise the rear, in this instance.

Yeah I haven't touched the ass end. Its the set up from when I had 17s keeping me off the ground. Been looking up other ideas also but unsure about what will get me through a WOF without Cert.
Will look and flipping the rear leafs and then see what I have to remove off the blocks

Other option is put my sedan struts in and take the blocks out then get it a WOF as taking an inch out of the rear will prob make it look like I've tried to hot rod it.

Ah my bad, I see what youve done there.
Reverse eye the rear leaves to counter act the height issue?
I think Ive gone anti-rules since leaving the AA as a wof inspector...

Had allways thought it was the chassis rail that had to be 100mm off the ground.......dont quote me tho.

[beaver]

No^.

It is 100mm to the lowest structural point. However it seems what is seemed structural is up to the individual.

Tony, I had no trouble when I had those wheels and 2" lowering blocks, even got a VTNZ wof.
