Advice with Springs

(1/3) > >>

Frankie-Boy:

Hi Guys, I need a bit of advice here please  ;)

The back end of my Disco is a bit low at the moment and I'm about to fit a tank guard which will undoubtedly make it sag a bit more, so I'm thinking either H/D rear springs is a possibility but don't want to make it a hard ride on the back, a one or two inch lift might be another way.

I already have 1 inch spacers fitted all round, so what is going to be my best option to achieve my aims? I only really want to lift the rear a bit so don't want to get a complete lift kit.

Over to you then  :D

adamdanshona:
I had the same problem with old sagging springs,I fitted standard hight H/D springs with gas shocks all round.It now sits right in my oppinion and many people have asked me if it has had a lift.
The ride is firm (not hard) and the on road  handling performance has been vastly improved.I tow horse boxes and car trailers occasionaly, and it tows very well.
I have lost some articulation off road but I think that is down to fitting new pollybrushes as well.
If you spend 90% of your time on the road and carry heavy loads then I would recomend them.

lambert:
personal opinion but if the tyres don't foul the body leave it. mine are stock and origional and work fine. not broken so why fix?

eugene:
ive got britpart gaz shocks and spings hd x2 there good no sag either you could could go 1 inch hd on the back
and standard hd on the front that should do it

J.D.:
Rather than HD springs, try the police spec springs which MM4x4 do, I fitted some to a standard Disco and it has lifted it slightly and vastly improved the ride.
