	Hi all, long-time reader and newly signed up member. I have searched the internet thoroughly and haven't found much on my topic. I want to achieve a nice drop on the SJ410. I understand lowering 4x4 is much different to cars, and I have never tackled this. How much work am I looking at? I do not want it SLAMMED literally to the ground like a couple pics of show cars floating about. I just want to sit it on some wide rims and close the arch gap, and cruise around town. As I said, I know zero about 4x4 suspension, so keep it simple please thanks in advance

	SJs are just axle under leaf springs so its simply longer U bolts and lowering blocks Just search for lowering blocks on ebay and you will find tons, you might need shorter shocks though as they may bottom out.

	Depends on the size of the lowering blocks haha, i know you can get 2" lowering blocks Another method i have done in the past on a VW Caddy which is essentialy the same setup is to flip one of the leafsprings which was probably another inch or so drop

I do love he mk1 caddys. Ive had a butchers, and managed to find some 3" lowering blocks, which are for a chevy, but in guessing lowering blocks are all pretty much the same? So i could try that, and the leaf spring if needed to get a 4" drop

	Yeah you can make most lowering blocks work, Some might take a little modifying, just make sure you use the right size U bolts for your axle
