I have only dropped half of what i can.
A super low kit from darkside will probably lower

I don’t want to go super low, simply because of driving on site daily. My only concern is I don’t want to buy the Vmaxx kit and put it on the lowest setting and then not be happy with it not going as low as I’d want it, for it to be reasonable on a daily basis

Go through some build threads and I’m sure you’ll be able to gauge the heights the vmaxx can go as its a pretty popular kit. My van was on them for instance, before I went to air ride. I never had mine set on their lowest and it was plenty low enough for static suspension on a work van running 19’s.

That’s stunning that dude. I’m guessing you were in the Vmaxx standard kit and not Extreme? If so then they go pretty low and that’s a nice height. I want to daily it on 19s and I work on site and have to drive on there.
I was thinking of going for the Vmaxx and getting Gaz shocks.

That's standard vmaxx with a few turns left on the struts. Rear is 2 holes from lowest, Gaz shocks.

Raided the skip and started doing a bit of CAD (Crap Aided Design) to figure out how I'm doing the false floor.

I think I’m going to have to do an order for them mate, as that set is what I’m after and looks perfect.
Do you any more photos of it when it was static or Instagram for me to look at? Cheers

Was just off eBay but it’s the second one I’ve bought for different cars & it works great..
Only pain is it’s a 19mm hole & it needs a +ve feed

Cheers bud! My aerial doesn’t seem to be standard is massive, but my van is Ex-Police so I’m not sure whether that’s due to something they’ve changed
