2" lifts, any long term users?

Budgie:
When you order the suspension kit make sure you tell them what else you are putting on the Disco as this will affect the strength of the springs they send you.
The +2" springs I was sent were for a standard vehicle and were way too soft for my Disco so I ended up with +3" springs.  :wink:

I ran a 2" lift on my 200Tdi for about 30,000 miles (then sold it) and have had a 1.5" lift on my TD5 for about the same distance.

With the 200Tdi I didn't modify anything else;  with the TD5 I extended the ABS sensor cables.  Brake pipes were fine in both instances.  Didn't do anything with the radius arms or the prop shafts.

No problems at all with castor angle;  the steering is perhaps not quite as precise as it was, but certainly not bad enough to need anything doing to it.  Everything else has been tickety-boo, apart from a transmission whine now from the TD5, which I thought was maybe a UJ complaining, but now looks like it's probably a diff bearing;  whether or not that has anything to do with the lift is debateable.
