Jacked in the rear? :( 2"lift
Dos this look right for a Terra Forma medium duty 2" lift? Front seems good, but rear seems too high. Not thrilled.
It had already had an old lift kit but it was pretty tired. The rear springs seemed really tall with this new kit.

Fixed. Now correct.

Thanks. I'm just going to stay with a 2" on this D2. Yes, new top pads on all four springs. The rear base plates are not original I would assume (this D2 is very new to me) as it once had rear air. Looks to have been a conversion prior to me.
The boxes these came in had correct part numbers on them. but these rears are just not right. Are there numbers on the springs themselves?
I have an email off to Atlantic British where I bought them. Hope I will get a response tomorrow.

I believe that D1 rear spring perches will add about 1/2" over the standard D2 perches. Previous owner may have used them when converting from air. Adding spring pads or isolator to the top and bottom of the spring will also net an additional gain. I believe they only used one stock.

Well, Atlantic British called me this morning as I had left them a Facebook message with these photos. First off, great that they got to me first thing this AM. Word is that what they see is normal and the springs will settle. They claim that the rear is that much higher due to possible loads in the back of the car. I truly appreciate how they communicated with me.
But, I'm not so happy with all of this. I'll give it time and see how things look down the road. If I had wanted a 3" lift in the rear then I would have planned accordingly with upgraded driveshafts.

" Will remove a rear spring this morning and measure and look for part number. UGH! "
You DON'T need to remove the spring to see the part number. The number is just painted on the OUTSIDE of the spring. Just remove a wheel and you will see the number IF it's there. For example (not your part number), the pic is how the TF number stamp looks. In your case something like REAR: TF023V /// FRONT: TF042
And for the record, there is no way in hell those are the correct springs. But will the springs "settle" with weight/time... YES.
You can also expect the paint to chip off fast, and they will also RUST like mad because they are TERRAFirma garbage. Good Luck!
>> FIRST pic is TF023V PS
