Suspension lift
Range Rover Blues:
I'm not sure the bushes will allow you to flex the axle away enough with a 2" lift, mine don't. With the police spec springs it's a very close thing and the last set I did needed the compressors.
lee celtic:
New bolts for the sring retainers :D
And I found that a set of nut spliters was the most handy thing to have as the bottom damper nut on the front is almost impossible to get at and as your changing the damper anyway you can just split the nut off. :wink:
And you can put the origional jack between the axle and the chassy and force the two apart enough to not need spring conpressors. :twisted:

Thanks to all comments - Thanks Lee Celtic, I haven't any spring compressors so that has stopped a panic!! As for shocker bolts etc. I have oxy acetheline, air saws, big hammers, big impact guns etc. I'll get the bas*&$ds off :twisted: Can't wait to change my vehicle spec. on Sunday to other than 'no mods....yet' :D

Don't know how far your thinking of going with your mods, but one thing usually leads to another, well it seems to with mine. If you are going to change your turrets or rear shock mounts at a later date to -2's it worth while fitting even longer brake lines now as +2 will still be stretched at full articulation. I got mine from Mill Services and the rear is 900mm long.
As for fitting the springs I dropped the axles as I was changing the radius arms aswell and had access to a hydraulic lift, there are some pics in my gallery
Good luck and have fun!

Some good pictures those, I like your car but I don't want to go that far with it, I only really do green laning and just want to get the same clearance (roughly) as a defender, thanks for your comments :wink:
