2" lift

pauls440 · Aug 27, 2011

hi all
my discovery has a 2" lift on it and iv had to put two rubber donuts on the prop , is this because off the lift ???

Yup. I am on my second one in less than 4 months. Will be fitting a different prop once I've finished the welding.

OK thanks
i have been told to put a front 4 bolt diff and prop on and this will stop this ,
iv looked in to this and it would cost £70 for the bits , is this a good mod or not

better to remove the lift - not necessary anyway.

OK thanks for that i will order a set in morning

MrPDude · Aug 28, 2011

You getting a new drive flange kit? Or getting a new diff and prop?

pauls440 · Aug 28, 2011

Know I think a new set off springs togobsck to standard

MrPDude · Aug 28, 2011

Fair enough. Even with the standard springs the 4 bolt prop and flange is a good upgrade. Them donuts are a PITA

Trewey · Aug 28, 2011

what size tyres you running?

pauls440 · Aug 28, 2011

Hi treway I'm running 235/70/16

pauls440 · Aug 28, 2011

Because I have 16" wheels can I fit standard springs

Trewey · Aug 28, 2011

They'll be absolutely fine with std springs. It'll drive better too and you'll get less vibration.

pauls440 · Aug 28, 2011

Thanks mate thats the i will go then

hang over · Aug 28, 2011

if it helps my mate had this problem he put a propshaft and diff flange from a range rover classic

The Mad Hat Man · Aug 28, 2011

i think a 200tdi prop and flange fits

History in the making here peeps, for the first time in ages I aggree with Trewey.

Gafferjim · Aug 28, 2011

The prop & flange from a 200Tdi disco will fit, even with the lift. you need to search on here to find out how to remove the flange from your diff, it can be a bit of a sod.
Get rid of the doughnut whichever way you go.

I agree with trewey, any time I have been out my axles and steering were the things that grounded, in actual fact I knocked the damper off twice, raising it makes it more unstable anorl.

generally the 2" lift will be inorder to fit bigger tyres which then lift the axel higher from the ground. so if you run standard tyres, i agree the lift is pretty pointless. i will hopefully be lifting mine soon inorder to fit much larger tyres on since it will be used offroad a lot. so it has its place i think.
