Pro Comp ES9000 Spring Lift Kit - 1.5 INCH LIFT - Discovery
Sharpshooter:
You may find the springs give you the lift you require . I don't think you can go wrong by giving them a call in the morning. :)
Bulli:
there is a possibility they will giev the required lift but at the expense of a harsher ride, they do say standard height , increased carrying capacity.

Its the same Kit as i have on mine at the moment.
The springs are about standard length, but slightly stiffer, so the car sits nominall 1.5 to 2 inches higher. Not so good off road, but gives a much better ride on road, despite the increased centre of gravity, also known as the 'round about with a laden roof rack test'.
The Procomp dampers are standard length, so you don't have to worry about brake lines, bumpstops, rear self leveler etc.
If you want lots of axle articulation them this is not the ideal kit, however I have had few worries whalst using it off road (pay and plays/greenlaning). The benitfits off road are increased ground glerence under the tow plate and transphere box/hand brake without spending much money. For what I do there is not much need for anything better except for keeping up with the jones on the 'gettin some flex' topic.
As a final note the ride height increse is a nominal figure as the same springs are used on the 90, RRC and discovery, compared to the tired 20 year old rear springs on mine the 1.5" rear springs gave about a 3" lift. No wonder the tow plate always used to plough.
Disco Bristol:
13 days(!) and counting, I am STILL waiting for my front springs that were supposed to come with the 1.5" lift kit I ordered from MM4X4.
I received most of the kit a few days after ordering but the front springs have STILL not arrived.
So the moral of the story is check with MM4X4 that they have the items in stock before you order or you could be left waiting weeks :!: Grrrrrr.
Most annoying.

errr wrong....what difference does the length of the dampers make to anything?
If you move the car up(longer/stiffer springs) the the brake lines are not long enough- for safetys sake spend 30 quid and make sure you dont lose your brakes..thats just not worth the risk!
Second why do you think people sell longer bump stops..is it for 'keeping up with the joneses' as you put it?? No its because the axle is further away from the bump stop...therefore the wheel can travel upwards more which may be further than it should. You can end up with the wheel literally eating the bodywork...and in the process risk breaking cv's or halfshafts - not to mention the nice new shocks which arent designed to be slammed shut by the axle moving up.
I dont think disco have the self leveler i think thats rangeys....
