Xtremeteam:

--- Quote from: "mentalmoshio sophs V8i" ---id go plus two spacers.
springs are for more travel which for light offroading u wont need. keep the anti rollbars fit longer bumpstop. job done. as for brake pipes ask simon buck at devon 4x4 . think u ll like his answer

& everything u have said is duff advise

fit +2 springs or +1 springs

i would only fit spacers to even up an existing lift kit

anti rollbars if you go offroad with taller springs or shocks you run a very high risk of inverting them & jaming them up

brake pipes.... allways alllways allways fit longer hoses on a disco, standard hoses aint even long  enough for being fitted on standard springs & longer shocks if you dont you WILL be able to play the hoses as a banjo

That's providing they're not slightly perished, in which case they just snap and you have no brakes.  :wink:

But what do we know Mike?
You only work on them for a living and I've only been doing this sort of thing to Land Rovers for 20 years.  :roll:

stuntman:
Haha, that sounds like a good bit of advice.

I was going to go the spacer route but for the sake of a few quid more I'd rather do it properly

4 landies:
I've fitted both 2" longer heavy duty springs and 2" spacers with 2" extended shocks and 7" extended brake lines and had no problems except for the prop which wore itself out very quickly, overcome that by fitting a TD5 prop. . . . . . .problem solved
