Hi everyone! I have a full leaf sprung GQ UTE and was just wanting to see pics of other GQ leaf utes with mods to see what my options for mods are in the future, IE. suspension ,tyres, ect I want to make mine as capable as i can without going to extreme as it is only a daily drive! Trying to compete with my brother in law's patrol which is coil sprung with lift tyres ect sick of gettin recovered all the time & want to turn the table around!

any pics would pe great! especially action shots

Extended shackles, 35's and a locker will get you heaps further. Remove some springs too.

2" body lift, 2" spring lift, soft springs,
36" simex centipedes for play
front and rear lockers
maybe a reverse shackle front end - won't fold up springs when hitting ledges and flex pretty well.

Had a leaf mq ute with all of the above, flexed more than enough - e.g. flex was never the issue if i did get stuck - can't really remember getting stuck in it.

well i have the 2'' springs & now have 2'' anti inversion shackles thanks to mick at superior engineering. next is rear locker cause i'm suspecting my rear lsd is shagged as it was one wheeling out in the scrub and shudders under load in right hand corner & when you jack it up it is locked solid! soo savin for the air locker, untill then i'll just mig it up as a temp fix! soo no one has pics?

Yeah looks bad ha ha,
did a bit of damage easter weekend, bent most of the front suspension going into a big ass hole, so instead of fixing i'm converting to coils bought a wagon and was going to swap the bodies but found a sh!t load of rust. so now taking the back off the ute and it's going on the wagon
almost done now just have to mod the tray

leafy ute

gmax82 has a pretty nice leafy very capable.

seen what it can do and was very impressed he has some nice flex and action shots. worth a pm.

also all stuff you can do yourself. body lift, shackle lift anti inversion and 35's.
