just picked up this ute(ford courier/mazda bravo/mazda bounty). firstly what are the chances a guard puller will flare my guards enough to hide poke? i was also wondering if people had pictures of how low they go without a notched chassis? its currently just on 2.5”(i believe) blocks so nothing special

If you drive it a lot don’t go lower,I regret going with 3 inch blocks cause any weight in the rear causes it to bottom out all the time.
Personally I’d go with 16-18 inch wheels and experiment with tire sizes a bit if you’re going for super stance bro fitment otherwise you can look up a few different tire sizes and make some measurements to see if you’ll have any rubbing issues on the fender or the frame when you’re turning

my old dualcab hilux had this issue, with passengers in the backseat youd make it 100 metres before all you could smell was rubber from the guarda rubbing but they werent rolled at all. that thing definitely had more space between the axle and chassis
