Flip your rear axle and clamp your front springs.. I'd say about 2 to 3 inches.. You could also cut your front coil springs but be weary not to overdue it or your camber will be WAY off and your tires will wear alot quicker.
thanks twentyocho" appreciate the help. could i cut the two or three inches out of the springs insted of clamping? also will that be even to the rear?
You could try cutting one coil and see how you like it. I actually went with the clamps on front and it worked pretty good. I'm actually in the process of cutting 1 and a half coils off (from a spare set of springs) to take it down a bit further. But yea, it should even out. Might actually come out a tad lower in the back with just one coil but like I said, cut one coil and go from there. I went the safe route and got an extra set of springs to cut so that if I don't like it or screw up, you will still have your stock set to go back to. But it's pretty straight forward.

Thanks guys. Oh, and Merc, hope you don't mind but this pic of yours is my background at home AND at work. One of my favorite pics here..
You're a good sport cheek! Do you have any pics of LOWERED AUSSIE bumps?!!! Is there much interest in Dumped Bumps down under?
..................& if you see MadMax tell him "Hey" from us.
Lol cheers mate, I saw Max the other day and he said he's making a new movie :O
There is a bit of interest but more people are into dents coz there are a heap more over here, bumps are pretty scarce ... You rarely see em on the road (well around were I live) I know of two in my area, one beaten up piece of crap and a matt black 69 model which is awesome!
I'll post some pics of Aussie lowered bumps tomorrow if I remember (I got my first day at the first ever job in the morning! )
