Sharpshooter:
Hi Mate. I know what you mean. Ill see how i feel when i get there. :)

Thung is, i want to get the tyres fitted.

So, if i go for a 2" lift, will thefront and rear props suffer?

wrecker:
i can understand what your saying,

i do know a few guys who run plus 2 and some 3 in lift and had no probs,

maybe some one else can help you out with that :D  

mark :D

Disco_Stu:
The props wont suffer too badly.

I changed two of mine before I lifted the suspension, the others are still ok. Probably done 7,000 miles.

Wide angle yolks would be nice though :)

It depends on the disco in question, some start to vibrate bad at even a 2" lift where as some have 3" without a problem, they wern't built with the tightest of tolerances. The more you increase the working angle of a UJ the short its service life. 2" is a general limit and IMHO provides a reasonable compromise, though personally I find 32" tyres and removing the tow plate make a more significant differance than a suspension lift.

As for wide angle props, I have 11" travel dampers on my RRC with standard propshafts and they don't appear to bind, though they are close to the limit now.

A friend has 265/70r16 recip trails on his disco with a 2" lift with exteneded bumpstops and he still had to do a far bit of triming aroung the rear archs to stop them catching.
