Mate honestly I'd love to see any xtrail sit "higher than most 4x4s on the road", but mine already has a total of 3.75" lift up front and 2.5" in the rear and it still looks like it's standing on its tippy-toes when next to a stock hilux/navara/cruiser/patrol haha. One day! haha, we'll get there one day.

Re: T30 Suspension Lift
Many owners including myself have lifted their xtrails with King springs, iv'e heard the ironman ones can sag after a period of time.

I was also thinking about doing a lift to my 2005 xtrail 2.5l 4wd. If I go with the efs 2 inch lift do I have to change my shocks due to the vehicle sitting higher. Also I was looking into just doing the GQ/GU 50mm lift. Will the spacers fit easily or will I have to modify anything?
Thanks Dustin
No need to change your shocks if you're just doing the 35mm coil lift mate. If you're carrying heavy loads or do a lot of driving on corrugated roads however you might wish to consider upgrading these in the future. Not sure what this GQ/GU 50mm lift is exactly? But if you're referring to the superior engineering 50mm strut spacers(?) then you won't need to modify anything. I would not recommend installing both coil lift and strut spacer in tandem however, as this can cause premature wear on cv joints etc. I had the coil lift in my T31 which translated into only 20mm of lift at the front (after sag) and I added a 30mm poly coil spacer(note: NOT strut spacer) afterwards which never gave me any grief so make of that what you will. There are a select few who have installed both however and I'm sure with a bit of searching you could probably ask them some more specific questions yourself.
