    Default Toyota Stout lowering???

    Does anyone have some solid info on lowering a Stout? It's leaf under axle rear and leaf above beam axle front. I want this truck about 5 inches closer to earth without having to use airbags. I have searched for drop spindles but apparently they dont exist ... ive been told to reverse the eyes on the leaf pack but surely just doing that wont give me 5 inches ?? Ive never had a leaf sprung car before so Im not very cluey yet!

    can you mount the front springs below the axle or will it hit stuff? rear should be easier as millions of people have lowered hiluxes before, most states you can use 2 inch lowering blocks, and you can get the springs reset lower too. I don't think reversing the top leaf will get you where you want to go, some cars you can flip a bunch of leaves or leave some out, looked at doing this to my hilux but you can't, yours may be simpler.
