Hi

I've got the same Apex springs (but with Koni Yellow sport-shocks)


Some pictures:











I've never noticed that my springs are lower at the front then the rear ???

Do you have the original shock's ???

35mm drop is too low for a 4x4 like yours. Suggest nothing more than a 20mm drop. Then get bigger rims to fill the gap, if you must.

Totally agree mate. Also wears the tyres on the inside edges which can cause you blow outs!
