chuggaman:
so just to clarify, if i fit +2" shocks and dislocation cones to my present setup(lowered shock mounts on rear and lowered turrets on front) i will need to fit extended bump stops and longer brake flexes front and rear?

yes you will


to lift the suspension another inch could i get away with fitting spacers on the +2"springs or would i need to change them too?

spacers will work fine

would this then eleviate the risk of the shocks topping out which was one of the reasons for the origional post?

both options will

you will need longer brake lines and relocation cones for both options

this is what happens to my rear

Dr Neil:
i better adjust the headlights then :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

thanks for clearing that up!!

would the extra inch lift adversley effect the handling much?

yes the front steering geometry will change for the worst

one thing allways leads to another

Range Rover Blues:
Can I just add my twopenneth?

Firstly though I like DeCarbon, I like ProComp more!

Now, if you have +2" springs AND spacers you risk either the damper OR the spring acting as bump-stop, both scenarios are BAD.

If you lift the car then fit bigger bump stops, what have you actually acheived?

And can someone clarify, are +2" shocks 2" in the body and the piston (making 4" extra droop) or +2" overall?

If you lower the standard mounts on standards shocks do they bottom out or do you hit the bump stops? meant to check whilst I had the springs off but forgot.

Then you get into longer brakes lines, steering castor and Cardan joints..........


....oh joy.

Mace:
Why not buy +4" shocks and return to your standard shock mounts + extended bump stops ?

Your shocks will not bottom out before hitting the bump stop
+
You'll get shock travel for your 2" lift
+
You'll get an extra 2" of axle droop
