2" lift kit
Ja1983:
i have rear cranked arms and castor correction bushes on the front... bear in mind after a lift you need to have the tracking checked... (as i discovered after lowering a previous car... new tyres lost aall one edge down to the threads in 2 months!)

One thing I often forget to mention is how badly the front tyres wear out on a lifted car without castor correction.

Good point!
I have the QT arms too, but since I've bought them I have been pondering the wisdom of them (and having seen a few more sets written off by other users).

What are the weak area(s) with the QT radius arms? I'm looking to make a single link front suspension using a similar construction so it would be good to know where in particular needs improving on existing products.

Thanks for all the input fellas,
Having read all of the above I think I may be best to keep the disco at standard height, "the way god intended". It gets used far more 'on' road than it does 'off' road and I cant compromise the 'on' road side of things when I have a 45 min fast commute each day.
The real solution is to get a small diesel car for driving to work and back, then play around with the disco a bit more.

That or get a suitable trailer for the disco to tow and get suitable toy like a CCV trialer to go on it.

Might be worth checking to see how tired your current springs are, a new set might make the truck a whole lot nicer to drive and restore it to as new ride-height.
