I've got some to fit onto my all ready lifted 2" disco
Should look large when its done!
I have 2" DeCarbons and Scorpion springs and extended brake lines
I need to get castor corectted radius arms though, steerings...interesting!
Good luck
:D

hi if your gonna put a lift kit on i recomend fitting the correct extended brake hoses as the extra travel will snap your brake lines when you go offroading.
i use scorpion racing 2 inch lift kit with delphi gas shockers mix this with a set bfgoodrich 235/75/16 all terrains 30 psi front and between 32-34 psi rear depending on load ive also taken of all anti roll bars to free up more travel my truck grips very well she comes back up on cornering very quickly and with gas shockers the ride is very smooth i recomend scorpionracing springs as the front are uprated by 20% and rear 24% with the kit 2 lift kit this is for of roading and if you every purchase a winch and bumper then the springs can handle the extra weight up front
had mine on about a year now and must say very happy just watch them brake lines!
Budgie:
If your not into serious off-roading then a 1" lift is the cheapest way to go.
You can still use standard lenght shocks with it and, as has been said above, you don't need to worry about the steering and handling being effected.
You may be better off getting extended brake hoses anyway, just to be on the safe side and a set of gas shocks will make the world of difference. :wink:
Once you go +2" or higher then you start getting all sorts of problems that need looking at like wondering steering and if you are looking at larger diameter tyres in the future then this may have an effect on the gearing of the vehicle as well!
Have a search through this and the Modified forums, there is loads of info on what you can expect with different set-ups. :D

higher ============ cost

I've recently fitted a set of the new, yellow BritPart springs and ProComp shock absorbers. I bought these from Paddocks as a kit and they've lifted the car about 2". The only problem I've had is the rear anti-roll bar flipping over which I've solved by removing it.
