Hmmm... it could possibly be done, though it's something that I wouldn't try myself.

Tell you what, why don't you PM Dai (ClassicSwede), I think he's a busy chap but he might be able to get you a set of lowering blocks sent over, if you don't mind waiting for them awhile, it would be fairly cheap by sea freight.

I'm going to get a set sent over once I can afford it. This is why I've not modded my 360 yet, ordinary off-the-shelf parts are dear enough without going for performance ones.


I assume all these leaf-sprung Falcodore Ute owners can get lowering blocks, so it might be worth seeing who supplies those and seeing if they can be adapted..

turning around won't be good, every bump the bottom of leafspring will hit the chassis

you don't need U-bolts since the leafs are mounted on a flat plate next to the axle beam. m10x*** (depending on lowering) and minimum 8.8grade steel bolts is what you need.
