dont drive an MQ/MK, or get a whole new spring pack, or deal with the fact that this model doesnt flew, its a load carrying vehicle :P


in saying that, i hav no propbs with flex in my front end, if anything i get to much and i keep busting my fiberglass flares from tire rub. but thats prob got something to do with having 33's under an unlifted MQ... :D

When you pull a leaf out maybe you can give the rest of the leafs a good clean so there is less friction between the leafs allowing more flex.
Get longer Procomp shocks.
I assume you have looked at drop shackles. They will cost more than your truck is worth :lol: :rofl: :D

I have a similar problem... GQ leaf ute... also have EFS springs, which i am lead to believe are somewhat longer than standard, which means that longer shackles will allow more droop. Thats my thery anyway, and i plan to try it out as soon as i pull my finger out and make some :-)
