Dr Neil:
i am seriously considering replacing the standard shocks on my Disco200tdi.
i have a 2" lift and it has the extended top shock mounts already fitted.

i am thinking of fitting +2" shocks with the extended mounts (already fitted) and maybe dislocation cones. So the questions are:
would this be o.k?
what shocks can you recommend alomg with approx cost,and a good supplier.

any other polite comments welcome and thanks
Neil.....

Go for Old Man Emu ones, cost a bit more but a lot better. It should be ok just get the longer ones.

Budgie:
Just a though but: If you've got the 2" drop on the top mount and you plan to fit +2" shocks, will they not "top out" (fully compress the shocker) on full articulation when the uppermost wheel goes into the arch?  :?

Sure, you'll end up with 4 inches more drop than standard but 2 inches less raise. As the pivot point is in the middle (nearly) of the axle then I would have thought that the amount of drop on one side would be equal to the amount of raise on the other?

Anyone know if I'm talking cr@p or not?   :wink:

Oh, and I'm with Mikee for the shocks, Pro Comp ES9000's, got 6 on the Disco (twin rears!! :D ).
