Ok so my EFS lift is in!





I did the 50mm lift Ratings: 40-70kg front and 150kg rear. (i'm going to be doing a shelf / packing system in the back.)
It's got the castor correction bushes in and the steering damper.



The steering damper makes a big difference, not sure about the mechanical stuff Jab, but I can assure you there is a difference :)




Handles and drives great!
It looks quite a bit higher than anticipated, esp in the rear. Still havent done measurements but the fitment center said 50mm front 70mm rear :eek:

Anyway very happy with it and it looks great in that stance.

There is one issue however and that is with the brake lines. I was under the impression 50mm lift wont have any issues at all, but to me this is too short.



Can anyone with a lift or stock post a pic of their brake lines please? Everything looks fine though. The picture above is on normal stance, not full articulation.

For sure.
I'm going to extended this weekend. Quite simple really as it's only that pipe as far as i can see. The rear brake cable moves with the arms so that wont be an issue.

Lots of space to get in under there now as well :lol:

Not being funny mate but have you fitted the longer springs on the back when they should be on the front as it looks like the back is too high.
It looks a bit like the one on the auszookers web site when the owner fitted the jimnybits front springs on the back.


This is my rear brake hose with a 50mm lift.

Thanks a lot for the info!
So the long coils need to be in the front?
Seriously, one would expect the fitment center to know these things :-/

Do you have a direct link to the auzsookers post so I can help troubleshoot?
Thanks again!

Does the shocks also need to be swapped or only the Coils?
Your Zook looks like I imagined it would so yeah.

Thanks again for the help Dirtydogz!

Yes mate the longer ones go on the front, if one of the front springs is a little longer than the other that go on the drivers side, no just the springs.
It's a good job your on this forum then.

Dirtydogz, you are a legend mate!
Need to now hear what the installer has to say! :angry:
Probably not going to be able to do it tomorrow but I'll post feedback.

OK. I climbed under the Jimny and had a good look.
The installer definitely made a mistake. Long coils are in the back. Then i saw 2 tags still on the coils that was installed in the front. Googled the part number and indeed. "150kg - constant load bearing - REAR COILS"
Phoned up the installer and said that they def made a mistake as that part number needs to be in front and i must bring it in for them to correct. I'll be taking it on Monday.

Is there ANY way they could have made a mistake with Shocks as well?

No Nox the the shock are different as in the photo.






And you can the different in the length of the springs.
Sounds like money back time from the fitter, for the time you wasted going back for a second time. ;)
