Pro Comp ES9000 Spring Lift Kit - 1.5 INCH LIFT - Discovery
clbarclay:
Bully, just to be clear on the point
Using the basic lift kit from MM4x4, the dampers are standard length, the damper mounts are standard, and therefore the the range, upper limit and lower limit of suspension travel remain exactly the same. The springs have no effect (unless they coil bind or pop out) on the limits of suspension travel, just the nominal ride heght within those limits.
If the dampers were different lengths or mounted differently compared to standard then the range, upper and lower limits of suspension travel would then be changed. Then you would need different brake lines that are not standard length.
On vehciles with revised suspension geometry then extended bumpstops may be required (depends on what exactly has been changed and in what way). My commets about 'keeping up with the joneses' was refering to the amount of axle articulation I actually needed, not weather extended bump stops were needed or not.
As for not having a self lever, I was not aware of that so thanks for pointing that out.
Bulli:
well the kit isnt worth buying then... if the shock is the standard length then its already extended by 2 inches because of the lift....and that means it will allow too much upward travel (bump stops) but not enough downward travel(where you want it) The chances of shock loading the extended shock are alos increased and they dont like it too often.
Disco Bristol:
Do I need to fit anything to my Disco to stop the shocks from being pulled apart when at full articulation? What I mean is, the shocks can only expand to a point, past this point I guess the weight of the car will be forcing the shock apart. Does that make sense? Presumably there is something one needs to fit to make sure that this does not happen.
Disco Bristol:
Oh and still not got the front springs from MM4x4 now been waiting more than 21 days!
Sharpshooter:
You can fit straps. But i didnt bother.
