Evenin all, just wondered your thoughts. I have bought +2 Terrafirma HD springs, I took measurements before and after ( well rear any way, ran out of time to fit the front. Before they measured 810mm from ground to top of wheel arch , now it's 895. that's nearly a 3 1/2 Lift . Does that sound right ? Obviously that's without too much weight, well , still have large tool chest, trolley jack, 2 axle stands and a box of large ratchet straps in the boot.

The code on the new springs checks out as +2's.

Maybe your springs were shagged before you replaced them?

Mine sits about an inch and a half lower than SnowmanV8's

when you fit the front, the back will go down some

The original springs have probably never been changed so they'll have sagged and will probably be completely shagged - replacing mine lifted it considerably more than 2 inches so i wouldn't worry!

Cheers guys just when I seen a film on YouTube the end result from a two inch lift was more 825 not the 895 I'm getting but as said I'm expecting it to go down a little at the rear once the front is fitted but still some differrence so was worried about the uj's etc if this sounded higher to you experienced folk.

You have got the right springs on the back end, haven't you? Front - back mix up could cause headaches of you haven't done the front yet

Yip, definitely. That's them all done and poly arbs front and rear, phew. More of a job than I thought, but the final measurements are ,front : 885mm, rear :890 with tools and jacks in . Looks way taller than I thought. Just wish I had enough cash to do the shocks at the same time as I'm sure they're shagged as well although no leaks.

Yip Roughly 72" so must be standard 2" lift but still looks massive. Now to find castor corrected swivels :-D
