Bit the bullet and had Coastal 4x4 fit the spacers for me. I'm away at the moment but have seen pictures and the Prado finally looks level. Will post measurements when I get home but looking at the pics it appears to have raised the nose approximately the 30mm required to make the side steps level with the ground. Hopefully fitting the spacers should mean that I retain the stock droop (what there is of it) as the shock can still move down, rather than pushing the shock further down in its stroke.Kev,

I did take some, but haven't got around to posting them yet.Originally posted by Matt - mr4x4 View PostKev any before and after pix ? So the 25mm spacer gave 30mm of lift ?
Before was 734/ 740,

after 775/ 778

so almost 40mm with the 25mm spacers, coastals told me they use the 10mm to get an extra 25mm for the 3" lift they do on hiluxes.Kev,
