Pro Comp ES9000 Spring Lift Kit - 1.5 INCH LIFT - Discovery

(1/7) > >>

Disco Bristol:
Hello,

I have decided to order the Pro Comp ES9000 Spring Lift Kit - (1.5 INCH LIFT) from MM 4x4 for my 97 Disco.

I understand that there are a number of things that people recommend changing at the time of replacing the shocks. Namely the nuts, I see the kit comes with 8 nuts. Are these the ones that people say I should replace? Is there anything else I should order?

Here is a link to the kit I am going to order,

Good Choice. I have just fitted a 2" kit to my 110. (See Picture).

The nuts it comes with are the turret retaining ring nuts. I didnt notice this until i had finished and got some from work.

Its a great kit.  

Mine took about 4.5 hours in total. But i am a mechanic, and have all the right tools.

Give everything a good soak of wd-40 the day before you do it.

Also, i found the front brake hoses will be ok, but the rear is now too short.

Hope this helps.

Disco Bristol:
Very Cool

Have you had a look at the +2"kit from Paddocks?
Not only do you get the springs and shocks, but also extended stainless brake lines, extended bump stops, front and rear disslocation cones and heavy duty spring retainers. Just under £370 and free postage.

You will probarbly need to replace the turret retaining rings at the front, and if you go for just the shock and spring kit, make sure you get some heavy duty spring retainers.

Just fitted the Paddocks kit on our Disco and had a day out a Kirton quarry on sunday without any problems, really glad of the disslocaton cones, they really proved their worth, we could hear the springs popping in and out all day!

What you decide to fit depends on what you want from your vehicle and how extreme you want to drive!

Hi most of my order has just arrived from MM4X4 today. I am looking at the blue springs and when i punch in the part numer into google is says they are
"Standard height and increased load carrying capacity".

One of the part numbers from the spings is BS2103 Have a look at the following link.

Now I ordered a 1.5" lift kit and that is what the have charged me for. Am I confused? Why does it say "Standard Height" if i ordered a 1.5" lift?

This is what i ordered
