yes thats all ok, if your only lifting 1 or 2 inches, although you may find things such as props or axles start rumbling if they are getting worn as you are changing how they work and worn into. i have lifted a defender 4inches with just new spring bottom plates i made, and dropped the standard shocks , even at this everything else was fine, however, i didnot use it offroad like a lot of youlot do and that makes quite a difference as nothing is really getting stressed that much on road compared to the power or torque going through the components when off roading.

I did a 1" lift on mine too. Rear anti-roll bar 'flips' when off road and the front prop shaft U/J (transfer box end) only lasts around 4000 miles.

You just need to add 1" spacers underneath the anti-rollbar mounts.

and you just need to change the front prop for a double-carden type along with the transfer box output flange :-)
