Dr Neil:
can anyone tell me the approx price to carry out a 2"suspension lift on a  'k' reg 200tdi discovery?thanks in advance Neil...

Matt_H:
spring spacers = cheap - someone here sells them.

new springs, £30 per corner, new shocks £30 per corner... Fitting at a garage give an hour per corner worst case scenario at your normal rate.. So all in around £350-£400.

Its not a difficult job with a highlift.

Bulli:
what are you hoping to do in the long run?
If you are happy to just lift the disco then spacers are ok but a bit of a pain at the front. If you are thinking about a winch/bumper you really should uprate your springs (or you will find you dont have a lift when you fit the winch). If you get progressive springs rather than some of the crap on offer you will improve articulation, shocks 35 quid from procomp or paddock or just about anyone in lro. If you are tyring to improve your offroad ability buy 4 inch longer shocks and get disloctaion cones( about 100 quid off ebay)That way you will get additional droop.....oh and remember longer brake lines aren't optional, if you like to be able to stop fit them- dont let anyone tell you otherwise,no brakes..... :shock:

Range Rover Blues:
Longer springs and dampers, around £350.  I'm not keen on spacers for the Rangie because the springs are softer due to the presence of a self-leveling unit which becomes redundant on a lifted car.  Even for a Disco the stiffer springs in a lifting kit will help with roadholding.

Brake hoses £50-70
Castor correction £200
Cardan front prop £180
Extended bump stops £30

Anti roll bar spacers £20

Wanderer:
At first I started with 2" spacers under the rear and a 2" dropper on the dampers. on the rear.
Range rover rear springs (HD police spec as they are often called) on the front.

This gave a reasonably cheap solution but I went on to change things around later.

Brake lines. It's possible to modify the rear mount and front ones for that matter.

Castor angle. Not much choice unles you're lucky and the castor angle isn't thrown out too much. The castor is more of a problem the nearer you go to a minus reading.

New springs can give nearly a 2" lift if you've got old worn springs.

It all depends on how handy you are with tools and lathes etc.

Brake lines need to be looked at in some way. I've seen 2" lifted motors hanging with the rear brake line as tight as a guitar string.
