  • Efs 2 inch lift height issues

    I've just had a 2inch efs lift installed on my prado and I'm not happy with the lift that I've got.
    At the moment I've got no accessories fitted but am planning to fit a bull bar.
    I've gone with a heavy duty front spring and a med(100kg) rear spring.
    From standard I've only had a 25mm lift in the front and a 20mm lift in the rear.
    The heights with Ive got at the moment are 770mm in the front and 770mm in the rear.
    Is this right? It doesn't seem high enough?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you spoken to the installer about what exactly they installed incase it got lost in translation?

      Yeah, I've had a big discussion with the installer and with efs and nothing has come from it as yet.
      It's just really hard to understand why this is happening as it looks like the right parts have been installed..
      Is it possible to get a bad batch of springs?
      Or is there something else that might be contributing to it?

        About 2 months ago I put a 2inch lift with Dobinson springs with Lovell shocks. I also went for the heavy duty springs as I will be adding on as well. Now my measurements are 820 in the front and 800 in the rear.
        There are photos on the last thread on suspension or on my profile album

          I think they may have put the wrong rear springs in it. They need to put in the higher rated springs

            I also had issues with the front springs in my diesel 99 surf. I believe that EFS develop their springs for petrol engine vehicles. I had to end up with Extra Extra heavy duty fronts to get 50mm lift in the front of my surf with only a standard winchbar and winch with rope (not heavy cable).

              Doesn't seem right as they are both low. Mine was always low at the front, but that's with a steel bar already on. It'd be very interesting to see what happens with the weight of a bar on the front. The rear might lift, but how much will the front drop? It'd be really handy if you could test 40Kg of weight hanging off the front...

                When I had both 90's a diesel and petrol I got approx 37mm front of both give or take a mil and 50 on the rear of both. These were medium rated springs all round with new shocks, steel winch bar on both and duel batts in the diesel (didn't have in the petrol). BUT this was OME suspension supplied and fitted by ARB....Cheers Steve
