Two leaves will turn to shit very quickly. Can you post pictures of your current travel. Do you have realistic expectations of what a sierra with 2" springs on stock spacing can do? What size shackles?

I'm actually expecting it to boostedbrick. Sadly I think the "efs" springs I brought were just way too stiff for the car, even with two leaves when I jump on it (I weigh 95kgs) it drops about 1.5cm at most........ Shackles are standard
I'm thinking this has been an expensive learning experience and I'm close to just putting the stock springs back to be honest.
At work at present ill post pics later. Will try to find some ramps to test the flex (if it exists!)

What shocks are you running mate. They play a big part in influencing the ride. Have you tried taking then up completely and going for a short trip up your street and back

I've had EFS in my zook for 2 years barely been offroad and drove 8000kms in it. The have sagged terribly and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
