How far to lift my disco?

(1/6) > >>

discoandy:
i need to replace my rear shocks on my disco and thought while i am at it i could give it a little lift all round. any suggestions on how high and any adverse affects to handling a lift would make , i use the disco daily and it is a family car so i am concerned about saftey.

Jake:
If your gonna lift it then 1" is good.
2" you'll need to change a few more bits + the handling will suffer.
the big question is, do you really need a lift?
Remember, if you use it daily, it wont go in multi storey car parks with a lift.
 :D

discoandy:
i am just getting into off roading proper it is only normally used to get about fishing and shooting, muddy gateways farm tracks etc, i realise that it will not fit in a multistorey but as i hate shopping that is not a problem :D

MuddyMachine:
I use mine as a family car. Ive just put 1" spacers on. Kept original springs but my shocks could do with being replaced.
I have noticed a little less roll in the corners and it fells like the suspension is a bit stiffer.
They have only been on a week but so far I am very happy.

Manicminer:
Fit as little a lift as you *need*.

Unless you are going to use it a lot on difficult terrain then leave it as it is.
