suspension lift

<< < (5/5)

Bulli:
650 is cheap...300 quid for 4 tyres....surely you need 5 or you will blow your halfshaft/diff if you get a puncture. With tyres you get what you pay for ....sadly mine cost a more than your total for the lift...

I dont like jubilee clips on springs its a bodge ...sorry ive said it before and havnt changed my mind. For the cost of cones why bother?

HIPPO:
Just thought i would add my bit, i lifted my discovery using a kit from Paddocks, Britpart yellow springs and procomp shocks it was only a 1.5/2" lift, and also brake lines from Llama. I also changed all the bushes to deflex ones again from Paddocks.  The tyres I fitted are BFG Muds 225/75-16.  The road manners were fine for me but when swmbo drove it it used to wonder about?  its just what you get used to.  I then fitted wheel spacers which did make a small difference.  it didn't have A/R Bars.  I felt the lift was about right for what i used it for and it also meant the kids could still get in and out.  All you need to do is check out lots of other disco's, do lots of looking on the net and buy what suits you and what you want to use it for.  A 2" lift is very common and doesn't stress all the other components out too much.
All just  my thoughts.

The picture below is after a "little drive" around coney green.

Range Rover Blues:
Too true, a 2" lift is very porular, anything 1 1/2 " to 2 inch is easy to live with, much more and you end up with negative castor.  Believe me that's BAD.

Just did a 2" lift on my Discovery, :D


Pro Comp es9000s and Blue Bearmach springs from Tuff-Toys.

Ordered Tuesday delivered wednesday, top service from those guys. They were even answering their phone at 2:30pm on a saturday,

Had a 30 mile drive home from my mate who fitted them and the ride was Great, much smoother than the DeCarbons and standard spings on before.
