tough dog 40mm lift

[matmce]

Had a Tough Dog suspenion lift today.
It's sold as a 40mm lift but i only got 25mm on the front. Can others let me know if this is normal or should i go back and complain?
I have factory steel bull bar, so i got the heavy duty springs up front (winch not fitted yet but will get as soon as I have the money).
I measused from cetre of hub to the bottom of wheel arch.
I'm happy no matter what has happened as i no no longer have standard suspension!!
Thanks

I believe lovell front springs give more lift but i didn't know untill after.

I thought insurance didn't like spacers?

 

[nismo4x4]

they dont but doesnt stop people...

 

[ourd40]

they are only about 5mm thick you wouldnt even know they are there

ourdr40, did they have to install casters on yours?? so it doesnt do the trolley affect

 

[ourd40]

getting a wheel alignment as we speak so ill find out soon

I got roughly same amount of lift in mine.
Think I got 30mm in the front and 65mm in the rear. Rear was using OME 450KG leaf packs though. Struts were Tough Dog adjustables all round with HD coils in the front.

i spoke with zordo 3 days ago and he said body lift blocks are allowed now in Qld provided you get the car mod plated, just can't remember which type. blocks can't be narrower than the original ones

No there is plenty of adjustment on whatever it is they needed to adjust.

i'm getting a new tough dog kit fitted this friday after having major dramas with a efs kit that was fitted and the replaced back to stock.

the guys at carrolls melbourne have no idea on what parts go where

i'll keep you all posted on the kit

Ok just got me toughdogs installed 30mm front (HD coils) 72mm rear (0-300kg comfort leafs). Front lift disappointing but expected with ifs

I got a 50mm tough dog lift installed and MT MTZ 265/70/17's on my 2012 D40 ST.

Measured a stock Navara in the showroom lastnight and it was 870mm front and 900mm rear to the wheel arch. Just measured mine, 915mm front and 980mm rear, so I got 45mm in the fornt and 80 mm in the rear (including tyres).

Pretty happy it does seem much higher when you get in and out of it as compared to the stock D40

Just a quick update.
Had a call from my 4x4 shop and they are going to change my front springs as he was told they might have been packaged wrong and they gave him the light duty springs.
Hope this gets a bit more lift!

I have done 4000kms with the bar and winch fitted and the front has dropped a bit so i have only gained 25mm in the front now
