Hi all,

just come back from first long trip in newly purchased hilux 2x4 dual cab 2004. Previous owner fitted lowering blocks (around 75mm high). As a new kid on the block;

  1. does this automatically mean a firmer ride? (bumps in the road come right thru into my buttocks!!)
  2. will removing the blocks raise the tray the whole 75mm ?
  3. will removing the blocks mean I can carry more weight in the tray?
  4. should they stay or should they go?

Any ideas would be apprec.

Q2 yes

Q3 shoundn't

Q4 personal choice. Do you NEED the ground clearance? NB are they a legal fitment? [Has it passed insection with the mod?]

Q4. a. Legal fitment? Suppose so.

Could get tricky if not approved & copper gets picky. Should have some written appproval for mod? Expatriate Tas myself, don't know their rules now. google or ask?
