You are right, lowering something for us is sacrelege! :shock: :D

Cant help myself but do a search on the net. Heres something I found:

Looks like fitting a block between the leafs and the axle is the go. Hopefully not the only way, looks a bit dodgey to me. Dunno about the front though...

G'day,
Most suspension places should be able to supply you with lowering blocks for the back. Although I don't think too many are made in 3 inch! 1.5 and 2 are common.

As for the front, the Castlemaine Rod Shop makes 2 inch drop spindles for Rodeos. These lower the front without reducing suspension travel.

I hope this helps
