Bobtailing a Disco 200TDi
stuvy:
Im going to give the suspesion to my mate as he has had no luck recently, besides selling it on wouldnt be worth it
i was looking at the Gwyn challenge kit its about £1200 alot for suspension i think,
Any one know of any others?
and.... how much did you take off it yours boss? its looking really good now
boss:
noooooooooo! that kit is full of propshafts and arms which in all honesty you dont need! go to maxtraction and get 4 of there progressive springs with some long dampers(i have the rough country ones and no commplaints) thats really all you need! but thats me, i figured that as i got no anti roll bars and big tyres Castor correction and fancy propshafts wouldn't cure rubbish handling and vibration on the road! money better spent else where in my opinion.
as for my truck, i have cut it off 10mm behind the rear wheelarches but that in all honesty was a bit much :lol: i dont know where the law stands on tyres sticking out on the rear further than the bumper will.....
ill dig a photo out if you haven't already seen my thread.
you will probably need defender truck springs on the rear of your bob(maby hd). i dont actually know or pretend to know the science of spring rates but im pretty sure that you will, i need the defender ones and even though you back end will be heaver than mine i wouldn't have thought you would want the disco springs

Like on replacing the 2 front tyres when the outside edge of them scrubs away, due to the negative castor on your front axle ;)
