Lift the Disco?

(1/5) > >>

Sheddy:
After doing a search on suspension lifts, I have a query .... There are various posts stating that lifted suspension has sagged after a short time.  

I was looking at a kit from mm4x4.co.uk which comes out at around £420 with the chancellors bit added.  Has anyone got experience ofthis kit .... is it likely to sag?  I don't really want to pay twice for the lift, so if there is a concensus that this kit isn't as good as it may first seem and that there is another kit which is more reliable, then I would consider going that way.  I'm looking at either 2 or 3 inches of lift.  

I have access to a large lump of land (about the size of 6 footy pitches) that resembles the moon with grass on ..... lumpy as hell!  The farmer has given me permission to chew it up to my hearts content so I reckon the higher the better!  Would you advise against this and err on the side of keeping it closer to standard?

:D put the scorpion kit on never had any problems when i did had a first class response within 24hrs replacement part arrived never had any sagging  just make sure you put the springs on the correct way as they are progresive springs which fit with the tight coils top side any advice give richard/kevin a ring very helpfull and informative theres many happy mud clubbers including myself have got /or modifying there trucks using the scorpion equipment..regards colin

Think ill prob go for there 3" springs and pro comp shocks then go for Scorpions evo kit :)

i had the mm4x4 kit on my disco and indeed it did sag once i fitted the jackable sills and hd bumpers, think long and hard at how much lift you need and how many bolt on goodies your gonna end up with. all that weight was too much for the springs. gords now has them on his disco but had to put spacers on the back to compensate for the sounthdown tank guard.

I have the Scorpion 2" lift on my 300 Tdi Disco.
Since it went on i've fitted rock sliders, winch bumper, steering guard, tank guard with detachable tow bar and it has'nt sagged a bit.
They were on my old V8 Disco for 18 months and now have been on my Tdi for 6 months.
I'd go for a set of them again.
