How far to lift my disco?

<< < (5/6) > >>

Jake:
I want to know if anyone is using the Paddocks disclocation cones too.
Must be someone on here?

J B:
i bought the paddcks lift kit, procomps and britpart springs

and got a pair of dislocation cones from innovation 4x4, as i was allready aware of the springs being able to pop out 8)

strangerover:
Just to offer my experience,

I have Scorpion 2" lift kit, rear disclocation cones and front lowered 1" turrets, I have bought the extended brake lines but not fitted them and despite my best efforts playing in quarries the original ones are still fine...

Steering... no problems, drives straight, goes round corners
Handling.. Seems fine my original shocks where shot, so its better now.

I use 235/85/16 tyres

The disclocation cones seem to help as I have not popped a spring yet  8)

Bulli:
Jake you got a spare transfer and gearbox?? Sorry not trying to scare you but simexes will play havoc with your transmission. Mate has just fitted 33's to his g wagon and the garage COULDNT balance them....give you a clue,
They are great offroad but squirm on the road and you go deaf at about 35!!
What other mods have you done as 35's are a swine to fit?
The cones from paddock are cheap and functional... way cheaper than scorpion or check out the new plastic ones from Lrs performance..they are quiet!

My intention is to change loads of things around the Simex's.
Devon arches, transfer box, diff's (?) and a set of Mach 5's.
Its gonna cost me a lot of money and time to change tyres.
I am aware of the noise. Thank g*d i dont use it every day anymore  :roll:
