I did by, 2inches, then put it back to standard. The prop shaft (front ) binds up and will destroy the transfer box bearings. Lots of owners here have had issues with Puma lift and Land Rover won't cover warranty issues caused by lifting them. If you don't change the prop shaft, and its still under warranty, don't lift it.

With the D44 bumper and Warn PowerPlant winch bolted to the front, the front sits low so I give my pumas a 2" lift. However in reality the lift ends up being about 1". I also change the front prop with a wide angle one.
TBH the standard prop could be machined with a small grinder to allow a bit more movement in the UJ. 130's have feeling's as well you know  |

I have an ARB bar and winch, and loads of other bits on my SVX and because of the front droop use 130 Land Rover front springs with OME shocks. I have found this the way to go on the front, and Land Rover Australia don't mind.. I have a draw system and tow a boat and carry lots of weight so on the rear I use hduty springs with dislocation cones and terra firma +2 inch shocks. I removed the sway bars/anti roll bars, and I also have an ARB airlocker to use when it hard work to pull the boat out on the beach. Allan |

2" lift all round, OME shocks and springs, rears on medium rate springs, front on standard rate. No sign of front or rear prop shaft binding. Am told that it can vary from truck to truck whether you'll get a problem with the props and 2" lift - go any higher and more likely. I'll probably go for a double cardon front prop at some stage- probably once the transfer box is shagged

2" front and rear. front on cones, rear on blocks with extra internal spring. sits level when fully loaded and still drives like it's empty. aux springs only come into play when heavily loaded. terra firma big bore shocks all round, outstanding.
