You do realise it is not a true 3 inch lift, the CV's do not like that angle for too long, and the rear diff would be off centre too much.Originally posted by TFPRDO View Post97 VX Grande, with front & rear air lockers, ARB Sahara winch bar with tigers 11 winch, 2" EFS lift, 265/75/16 Achilles Desert hawk XMT, and more.

Your spot on Crooza, but 75 was what was on the box and it's much easier than saying 2 and a bit.....Originally posted by croozza View Post1999 v6, 2&?" lift, BF Goodrich Mud Terrain 265x75, TJM Rear Pro-Locker, ARB Front Locker and other stuff.

lol. Yep, the springs are 3 inches taller than std, but they are soft, so when they are installed, it comes back to a 2 inch, and when you have a load in the back or your towing, they drop further.Originally posted by TFPRDO View Post97 VX Grande, with front & rear air lockers, ARB Sahara winch bar with tigers 11 winch, 2" EFS lift, 265/75/16 Achilles Desert hawk XMT, and more.

Unfortunately, most are misled by the manufacturer. But they can get away with it because the spring is that much taller, but when installed, they aren't, that is when the claim should be made, and it should be an industry standard.97 VX Grande, with front & rear air lockers, ARB Sahara winch bar with tigers 11 winch, 2" EFS lift, 265/75/16 Achilles Desert hawk XMT, and more.

To tell you the truth, havn't had it in that long and have never measured the difference. Was just so happy to have decent suspension I didn't think much of it. Oh well, get's me everywhere I need to go and there aint too many places I don't need to go!!! Gotta love a Prado..........Originally posted by croozza View Post1999 v6, 2&?" lift, BF Goodrich Mud Terrain 265x75, TJM Rear Pro-Locker, ARB Front Locker and other stuff.

TFPRDO; How about you do some detailed measurements so I can add the details to the 90's suspension guide?
