Hi,
I just installed some 2 inch lift springs on my LWB. For both the front and the rear the free height of the standard spring and the lift spring is roughly the same. The lift springs have a heavier wire and therefore hold up the weight of the vehicle better.

spoke to someone 2day from spring shop, he told me if u install a spring longer than manufactures specs they sould b engeneered, thats y ppl go 2in, its just harder wire.
is this right?

Hi,
It really depends from one state to the next. You should check with your local transport authority. I know that in Victoria you can change the height by 1/3 the clearance from the bump stop.

Cheers,
David

hey, not your fault.

checked with arb, they are GU 20mm lift, 50kg load, and when i measured them, they were exactly 20mm higher than what my nissan manual says is stock height for gq front.
