Top work MDS.
The front seems a little on the low side though - I reckon you could get another 20mm there.

Madkore, what would the normal increase be? I'll give it another week and re measure...
I have the HD springs up front and noticed during my driving for work this week, there is quite a bit of bounce in the front.
Thinking I have ordered the wrong stuff, but then I thought, maybe it is just too soft. That got me thinking, 'hey, twit, you bought adjustable shocks' and the doco says factory setting is soft.
So on my way home last night, I made a change, from position 0 (soft) to 2. Bit of a change there, so when I got home, jacked it up (on the gutter on on side) and crawled under and changed the fronts from 2-5 and the rears to 2.
Now it might be a little better behaved on the road.D4D Prado GXL - 2014. 2" OME lift, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, ARB under body protection plates, ARB EZ Deflator, Weaco fridge, Matsen fridge on slide, BFG A/T's, ARB CKMA12 compressor, Oztrail side awning with LED lights PLUS canvas extension, Lightforce XGT's..

Dunno what the normal increase is, but from the Suspension Measurements thread I think 800 in the front is pretty achievable with only changing to raised springs/shocks.
It seems that 30mm drop from back to front is similar to standard too, so 828mm in the back matched with 800 in the front would look good.
But I'm sure Jason (WholesaleSuspension) would be better placed to advise you on this.NOW FOR SALE!!! - 2004 Silver GXL 3lt 4spd Auto - ARB Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, Redarc Dual Battery System, Cooper ST MAXX, Dark Tint, IPF900XS spots, Raised Bilstein/Kings Suspension/Firestone Airbags, Autosafe Cargo Barrier, Sandgrabbers, Rola Roof Rack Stuff, Insect Screen, Dust/Wind Deflectors, Sheepskin/Black Duck Seatcovers, GME TX3510, ARB underbonnet compressor, Allied Hammer Rims, ARB UVP, [url="http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?18043-Rock-sliders-steel-side-steps"]AJ Sliders[/url]Comment

I'll remeasure this arvo, if I get home before dark, and repost...
If still the same, I'll talk to Jason to see what the issue could be..D4D Prado GXL - 2014. 2" OME lift, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, ARB under body protection plates, ARB EZ Deflator, Weaco fridge, Matsen fridge on slide, BFG A/T's, ARB CKMA12 compressor, Oztrail side awning with LED lights PLUS canvas extension, Lightforce XGT's..

Long shot: Maybe you got medium springs or had the spring seat fitted upside down (not sure if your strut has removable spring seats or not).Comment

So, re measured again this morning and the numbers above are correct.
So i have 53mm between front and back, not the normal 30mm. Does not look bad, but I want to ensure everything is OK.
The springs in the front are Tough Dog TDC974H.
Can others with those springs please let me know if they achieved more than 775mm @ the front?
The front shocks are BM404400...D4D Prado GXL - 2014. 2" OME lift, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, ARB under body protection plates, ARB EZ Deflator, Weaco fridge, Matsen fridge on slide, BFG A/T's, ARB CKMA12 compressor, Oztrail side awning with LED lights PLUS canvas extension, Lightforce XGT's..

The springs are stamped with the part number TDC974H, so they are heavy duty. The struts do not have removable seat, and the springs are in the right way and seated correctly in the strut seat. The struts are not supplied with new rubber bushes for the top, so we re used the old ones. Could that be the issue?? They did not appear to be flat or worn too bad...Originally posted by amts View PostD4D Prado GXL - 2014. 2" OME lift, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, ARB under body protection plates, ARB EZ Deflator, Weaco fridge, Matsen fridge on slide, BFG A/T's, ARB CKMA12 compressor, Oztrail side awning with LED lights PLUS canvas extension, Lightforce XGT's..

With the new struts, did your new ones come with a strut top hat or did you re-use genuine one?
