Does anyone know what the measurements are for a standard Patrol (various models) from bottom of a 16" rim to under wheel arch? That way the actual lift can be calculated.

Like many here I bought mine 2nd hand with a bit of a mix and match on it so when I did the OME 50 mm lift it went up a lot more than 50 mm but the old springs had obviously sagged and I have not been able to find the standard measurements so that I can check.

I am a bit worried about my lift as I put in the 400 kg springs in the back and 100 kg in the front so unloaded it is very high particularly at the back. I did the extended sway bar links but the wheel alignment guys at TW&T said castor correction was not neccesary.

As most I have also purchased my Patrol second-hand with a EFS suspension kit, is there anybody I can take the vehicle to so that it can be checked to see if the Castor correction kit etc has been installed?

Take it to any wheel alignment shop for a free checkup. If the caster is within limits, stop worrying.
