    Sadly nose down is a given with this type of setup.

    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.

        25mm spacers
        New measurements
        FR 775mm
        FL 778mm
        RR 818mm
        RL 808mm
        After a week of driving around, wheel align tomorrow, looking at figures, might need to adjust airbag pressures, all appears to be good now.

            I did take some, but haven't got around to posting them yet.
            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.
