I recently put Bilsteins and medium duty lifted Lovells colis in. When the fronts got put in, the circlip was set at the lowest setting. This only gave me 20mm lift at front and over 50mm at the rear. I didn't like this so had the circlip moved up 15mm to the top setting (3rd groove). This has now given me 50mm over standard. (Yes lifting it 15mm gave me an extra 30mm )
The guy that did it said to me afterwards, that it is now too high ! After my tirade about them not calling me before they went ahead if they had any doubts, I decided to see how it went for a couple of weeks. Aside from maybe needing a wheel alignment, I think it is sitting OK. I have 800-805mm on the rear and 790-795 on the front (16 inch rim) giving me 480mm clearance at the front of the side-step and 490mm at the rear.
I have an alloy bar and no winch, dual batteries or anything heavy. The ride is fine and handling seems fine too.
The boots aren't leaking grease, they are only touching a little bit. Am I going to run into problems if I stay this way? Has anyone else got their fronts up this height and is it too much?
hmmm... was going to attach photos but Board attachment limit has been reached. Will add later...
