Was going to lower the duster but dont want to lose the tension i have with the s/s springs, would it be wise to use lowering blocks? or just get new springs?

reverse the front spring eyes that will drop it around 2" and give a little more anti squat too..
or failing that get the springs de-arched..
oh and if you end up getting new springs i want yours.. :D

Drill the front spring hangers a bit higher up but watch the tyres dont catch on the front wheel arch, it will also probably change the pinion angle.

Thanks Mick, will look into that, now having other issues with front end, which i thought was sorted!
But will get to the back end soon.
