	Ive tried googling a lot and have had mixed answers. Does anyone know anything about lowering hijets? Before you link me to the green Rascal on here they are different to hijets. Looking to lower it around 4 inches, not just for looks but also so it can fit under the barrier at my local tip haha. Some people say flip the axle but looking under it doesn't seem there will be enough room? What happens about the brake booster and exhaust? Any help is appreciated! Thanks Jack

	Are there any known leafs which will fit which will lower it without flipping the axle? Ideally i don't want to go down the route of modifying the body!

	Or does anyone have any pictures of how they have lowered their hijets and how much clearance they have?

	if you find it you are a better man than me! ive searched everywhere and havent got a definate answer :/ I don't want to take them off and flip the axle and come into problems, ideally i want to keep the van useable and get it done in a day.
