disco-v8:
ok ive decied its time for me to get my 2inch lift kit for my disco

now the only proplem is which to get and where from????

i need the extended brake lines, and bump stops and most proberly the dislocating cones but alot of kits downt come with these

im looking at not just getting a 2inch lift but to have the extra articlication for better off road use

not to sure if i my need anyother parts so if any one can help then please do

Budgie:
How flush are you with money to do this lift?
You could do it in stages ie, get the spring, shocks & brake lines first and then see if you need the rest.
If you buy it all as a kit then you're limiting yourself to the likes of Bearmach springs and Procomp Shocks, not there is anything wrong with them as that's what I've fitted.  :wink:

OME springs & shocks are very good and can be matched to what you want your vehicle to do, but they cost a wee bit more and the main companies don't do them as a complete upgrade kit.

MM 4x4 do kits from the basic springs & shocks to kits that include cranked radius & trailing arms, if you really want to go that far.

Paddock Spares is another place that do kits with cones etc.

If you're thinking of getting larger tyres then make sure the +2" lift is going to be enough. If you want to add things like a winch bumper, side bar and H/D rear bumper then you need to make this clear when ordering as the spring ratings will need to cope with this extra weight.
You can get the standard +2" lift but the front spings will drop by about an inch if you add a winch & winch bumper.  :wink:

Have a search through the Disco forum as there are loads of threads that have all the info you need.  :D

Range Rover Blues:
Just as an aside, I've bought some new dampers for the LSE, as it has EAS they should be standard length, they aren't, they are about +2", so if anyone needs longer front dampers on the cheap, there you go :)

P.S. I have 2 pairs spare now :wink:

i have found out the wasting money way if u ar putting a 2 inch lift on it u will b better gettin 4 inch shocks or less gives a lot more travel than 2 inch and u will end up getting them 3 months down the line when your wheels a still comin of the ground  :lol:

muddyjames:
I have to do something like this soon as my disco shocks n springs are very wollowy and droopy. My disco sits lower than my mates and he needs new springs. also bottoming out on the bump stops over speed bumps with 15gallons of water in the boot (in containers of course) cant be good.
