I did ask on another thread for a nice listing of everything to do the job properly to be made up.

:D the only mods required for a 2 lift would be to extend your brake lines as long as you dont drive like a maniac and appreciate that you have raised the centre of gravity of your vehicle and take it easy then all should be ok ..remember that by lifting your truck springs does not lift the axels any higher which is where your diffs are the lowest point on your truck bigger tyres will only do that on a standard disco series 1 235/70/16 is the largest with-out lift but a 235/85/16 you will get on with a 2 lift you can get bigger on but now you got to start cutting your rear arches :D what you will get is components like bushes will deteriorte quicker as they are under stress from the lift so then things start to feel a little quickey on the steering but of un-natural movements and free play in the steering are normal signs of this happining if you have a week component it will show signs very  quickley prop-shaft is ok at this lift but if you start going further then there are issues of binding and excessive vibration its fun developing he he he  :D

Andy,

If your free on the 1st feb, turn up to the pub meet, there will be at least two of us there with lifted Discos, and you can have a look  

Definately you want brake lines extended though, you wouldn't want to loose your brakes at a critical moment through stretched (and snapped) standard ones.

Like Budgie and Range Rover Blues advised me, after a lift, problems may occur with induced vibs. then you we need castor arms and a Disco 2 DC prop, I agree they should be generally fitted as a package like springs and shocks.

Before you purchase the lift kit state if you have a winch fitted and other heavey goodies this effects the ratings of the springs, get it wrong and fit the winch later you could have problems as decribed on the above thread.

Cheers
