2" lift

<< < (2/3) > >>

BigGreen:
I've just done a 2" on mine, got pro-comp shocks and bearmach 2" heavy duty springs for £200 , my old springs where that tired that it has nearly given me 3" lift, as for dislocation cones a mate of mine told me to zip tie the top of the sping into the mount. First time i have tried it in anger today at briercliff seemed to work fine, untill i tried swimming in a V8!! Then tried removing the gas tanks from the sills with no tools (they are a pain in the arse !)

If you're going to use this route then you're safer using jubilee clips and not zip-ties as your putting the weight of the axle and spring on the zip-ties and the jubilee clips will hold.
Also, make sure that the bottom securing plate that holds the spring to the axle is in good condition as I've seen these fold under the weight of the axle, then the spring dislocates from the axle end and you come down with a bit of bump!!  :wink:

--- Quote from: "scouse lanny" ---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:

Only pronlem ther is that anything longer than +2" is likely to bottom out before your car sits on the bump stops.  just so you know.

disco-v8:
im after a 2inch lift which also gives a good articulation, not just a lift with out extra travel.....

whats the best place or kit to look at????

Range Rover Blues:
Well you definitely want longer dampers, even with stock springs you will get better droop.

For a RRC I'd suggest Red/Whites as these are really soft compared to my 2" lift.  Before anyone says they don't give you a lift please explain what's happened to RRR then? I fitted red/whites and a set of 200TDi fronts (blue I think, or was it green?) and it's as high up as Blue with a full on 2" lift, just more supple.
