new springs and shocks. whoo hoo
lee celtic:
Get a set retainer rings and a set of nut splitters (£4)for the bottom damper nuts on the front cause it's quicker and easyer to split them off than try and wind them off as they are in a very confined space and usually stuck, also have a small bottle jack to put between the axle and the chassie, jack it up and drop in the spring (don't like spring depresors Had one go off ,not nice [-X)...
I have the same setup on my Disco and it works really well on and off road :D
Range Rover Blues:
He's right about the damper nuts, I drilled 2 holes in each one then used a sharp cold chisel and BFH to split them, you can't always get a nut splitter over the end of the damper bolt.
Once it's done see what you think to the handling, then let us know ;) If you're not happy we'll be more than willing to help you spend more money :D
davidlandy:
and dont use a ratchet spanner when tightnening up the shocker bottom bolt - theres no way to get it out when you've done!

My first lift (the LR equiverlant to riding your first bike I supose) was the same (or very similar) kit from MM4x4, unless other wises stated expect the procomps to be standard length. For recreational off road this hasn't been much of a problem and it means that a number of items like bump stops and brake lines can remain standard with no risk of damage. The kit I bought came with turret rings included.
On a RRC I found the on road handling transphormed, the first time on the road with the HD lift it had a roof rack loaded with tyres as well and round round abouts the body roll was less than before without the roof rack. Having said that a standard disco generally has stiffer springs than RRC to start with. Off road you have the lift increasing clearances, though stiffer springs do hinder traction.

As long as they supply the right parts to you at the right time then they are fine. From bitter experiance though their customer service can unfortunately be some what lacking at times.
