Wouldn't steelies get buggered in winter anyway? I'd just take them off and put on some cheap shite wheels for winter. It would be reet.

Large drop typically means you damage the bulkhead rather than the lower arms.

I would raise it and get snow tyres. No harm at all being prepared.

I drove mine lowered about 60mm on 15s and managed to break my front bumper using it as a snow plough down the country road to my house
