My Gem is jacked as on the stock springs:

Apparantly TX 'low' king springs are 5cm smaller than the ones made for TD's. Is this actully true, as I'm going to need about a 6" drop and 'low' kings do about 2"? I read in another post that using the older model springs in a newer model with shorter shocks will get you down there but I need confirmation before I go and buy the springs.
Any other ideas, otherwise?
cheers,
zep |

Cheers man, 4" might actully do it, especially with me in the car too. The back only has to be done about 2" so I think regular low kings may do that |
