Do you have to step up or jump up to get in, my current is a 2" lift, but neighbour has a 4" which I have to launch and swivel to get in, and I'm over 6ft, don't know how people use anything over 2-3" lifts without step ladders
Looks a 2 or 3" lift  ===================================

It's a definite jump up, but I've not got in and out than a 2" lifted car to compare!
I'm guessing if I want to put it back to 2" I'll need to get a full set of springs and shocks to ensure all is right. Is it an easy DIY job? 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

I would say that it is a 2" lift.
If it were a 4" with stardard radius and trailing arms you will see that the springs won't look even, ie looking from front to rear at the front springs the coils will look more open at the front and closer together at the rear. This is because the axle as a whole is rolling forward. Think of the hands of a clock sitting at 12 and six when normal but 10 and 8 for a 4" inch lift. Unless corrected it would be bloody horrible to drive, crash over bumps and won't self centre. Also the the diff to prop angles will be noticably wrong and let's not forgot the stress on the brake lines if used off road Hope that helps Mark |

i'd say 2"
its a hop up in with a 2" lift if you want it lower so say with a 1-1.5" lift then i use to run standard 90 rears on the front and a set of red a whites on the rear |
