2inch lift question

<< < (2/3) > >>

lenrover:
I had OME on my last 90 and yes the ride bit seem a little harsh at first then it did get softer but never sagged not even a little bit

Good stuff

joker777:
where did you get your kit from? and what did you get with it please?

markyb:
i ordered the springs from Devon. wasnt really a kit

shocks came from them to via Challenger4x4  (near me) i already bought the fronts that were fitted to my old zuk.

as it happens the emu shocks werent long enough, basically 1/4inch of upward travel, no amount of settlling in was gonna make them work so i brought a set of 4 procomps +2s. which did mean i saved a few pennies and these are spot on.  I must say ride isnt bad at all. usuall harshness over a speedbump but not as bad as on the zuks

but i also bought the plus 30mm bump stops which ive fitted to the rear, i need to look at the front but the stock ones look ok but we will see,

 but i m now thinking plus 5 or more rear shocks dislocating cones and few bits as the rear axle is screaming out for more travel.

i need to check the prop angles and such but i suspect someone will come along and tell me what limit it will go with stock prop.


but thanks for the tip, im sure offroading sunday will sort that driver spring out it just need sa bit of abuse,

as for the kit i didnt even take the wheels off to fit was easy.
took longer to go measure shocks and drive to the shop to get replacement shocks etc.

make sure your sat down when you call devon for a price on the emu.
by the way anyone want to buy a pair of emu front shocks, only used twice and in boxes they are pretty much stock length maybe a tad more.

Range Rover Blues:
I can't vouch for the Defender but I fouond that if you fit longer then plus 2" (maybe 3" at a push) then the damper will bottom out before the axle hits the bump stop.  As you have remedied this you could safely go to plus 4" dampers.
