    How low can you drop a Stout with out cutting anything up or bagging it? I'm guessing it has a spring set up in the front like a Hilux, is there any springs that will swap in? I believe people are using lowering springs from the Mighty Max in the Hilux.

    If anyone has pictures of static'd Stouts can you please post them up? Or pictures of the suspension set up.

    TIA

    Well just since your dangling I will offer up an opinion (for what it's worth). Of course you must consider what tires/wheels your going to put on and whether they will get in the way. Most the ones I've seen always require cutting or flaring since they want to go so low-but you should be able to measure you current height and then your current gap and if you go with stiff springs you could use up all but 1". Don't know about aftermarket springs you could find, but there are always custom spring shops around that can make what you need.

    Not sure what you're getting at. Not looking at anything bigger than 15" or 16" wheels, I was just curious what needs to be done to the suspension to get it down closer to the ground.

    well you can ghetto it and just coil a coil or two off the front springs and install block out back. that would be the easiest, looking at my old one I can see you doing a 3/3 or 3/4 drop with out issues on a 15 or 16
