Hi guys I put dobinson comfort medium duty leafs in the rear and bilstein 5100 shocks and only got about 20mm lift is that normal, and up front I put the bilstein 5100 set on the middle setting and got 50mm with the stock coil. I want to keep the front at that height and try to raise the back up another 30 to 40mm,it has only got a canopy so I don't really want to go a heavier spring if I can get away with it as it rides superb with this set up, so has any one got any ideas what I could do to raise the rear.
Only 20mm lift in the rear

Somethings not right there. They may have supplied the wrong ones. You should still get at least 50mm. I got 70mm rear on mine. Id be taking it back and asking a few questions.

hey mate, it sounds like you may have got the wrong set of springs installed.. did you source these yourself or was it supplied and fitted to the car by a shop? I would go to where ever you got them from and ask for a proper 2" raised rear springs and swap these back.. by the way what do you rate the bilsteins out of 10? (i would like to get a set of 4 for my nav)
I sourced and fitted them myself the part number on the spring was right that doesn't mean it's the right leafs tho.The bilstiens are unbelievable I would rate them a 10 I put them on the standard rear first before i put the new set on and improved the ride out of site. On the front using the stock coil it made it firm and rides very well no harsh ride what so ever, I put them on the middle setting for a 25mm lift because I only got 20mm in the rear and ended up with 50mm in the front.

You can get 1" lift springs. Maybe there was a mix up. Racking my brain and thats all i can seem to think it is.
Same I used lovells

I only used Ironman too. Then it settled and still have about 65mm or thereabouts in the rear.

Choc, I imagine you used Bilstein 5100 part number 24-187053 for the front. From what I have read these are a great shocky for the price.
What model number did you use in the rear. I am looking at the 24-187152 but am unsure if these allow much lift. I would be installing new leaves in the rear like yourself and am unsure if these would suit or not.
