Aussie EFS Suspension

[navara-au]

Got my suspension upgrade to day
http://www.efs4wd.com.au/products.htm

I opted for the EFS setup minus the front struts (still in development)
Front springs with a 40mm lift, rear leaf springs with a 300kg load wieght (150kg is available to) and rear shocks with a 36mm internal bore, 16 mm piston shaft and 60mm twin tube body.
Total cost $1080 installed and i still need to get a wheel alignment.
It looks like the same as the other's (old man emu, iron man, tjm, etc..)
I use my truck for work and it has at least 500kg of weight in the back and the only time it doesnt is when i take the caravan camping and carry even more weight.
The ride is much better, the rear springs and shocks work really well but the front existing struts dont control the new springs very well so i will have to update them when they become available.
I have some before and after shots and close up of the rear spring.
New measurements 925mm to top of wheel arch, 290mm to under side of sump and 555mm to under side of rear plastic step.... Oh I measured them on gravel so it might be a little out.

Very Nice. Working on mine tonight got the AC lift with Bilsteins and shackles. I noticed no disc brakes in the back???

That looks excellent Nav! Mate is that only 40mm more in the front? Looks like a little more. Maybe they have to settle a little. Rear springs look nice too. Got a quote today and was close to $1100 trade supply only! (with 5 + 2 rear springs instead of 4 + 2) so mate you got a rippa deal!
Do you get a lot of bounce in the front now with the new springs?

Yeh was a good price he's only a small time opperator, ive been going to for about 10 years, right into hardcore 4x4 ing so he knows what he's doing.

Front springs are quite hard handles alot better less body roll around roundabouts hit the speed bumps at speed and there was a bit of bounce of the front. I think it needs some decent struts to take out the bounce.
The rear set up is excellent no bounce at all very happy (the pic without the wheel is of it with the truck loaded so it will still take more weight).
Slight creak in the passenger side leaf?? but no squeek.
Can you post me the measurement of the underside of the rear bumper? so i will know what the difference is.

Mate I can see the top of your rear tires are about half way up the chassis beside them. The tops of my tires are about 50mm above that same point so I reckon your rear ride height would be about 80 to 100mm higher than mine.
Looking at your pics I would say it has raised a good 100mm in the rear and about 50 to 60mm in the front!
