Tritons can have standard front heights varying from 520mm to 580mm, depending on year and model and age (because the standard suspension does drop after use). So, a given set of coils on one vehicle could provide a 70mm increase in front ride height while the same coils on another Triton might result in no increase at all.
That's on a standard vehicle, once you start to add in the complications of the weight of accessories the equations become even more complex. Then there are the differences between what one manufacturer calls "comfort" and the definitions from another manufacturer which might or might not have variable rate coils or constant load.
It is a real minefield and one of the reasons why, on this forum, most will recommend that members talk to a suspension specialist who has proven their ability to tailor a kit to suit the needs and uses that the vehicle will be put to. Buying "off the shelf" or on price has, time after time, resulted in disappointments.
The best suggestion I could offer you is to go back to your supplier and discuss your concerns. They may have a different set of coils that will suit what you want and might be able to offer you some kind of deal on swapping them over.
In terms of maximum lift possible there have been members on here who've gone up around 630mm although that limits droop significantly and it's generally agreed that around 595mm is the ideal where you still have droop but CV angles aren't pushed to their limits. Lift helps in an offroad situation but it isn't the only factor. Tyres, technique and other things like locking diffs have seen lots of Tritons with fairly ordinary ride heights make it through when others can't.
