Off Road Lift Kit - 3 INCH Without Dislocation Cones

Bearmach 2" rear springs for front, and then bearmachs big daddy spring for rear.

So, bearmach then. Or just call mm4x4 and say:

"oi"

That should sort it...

yea but you will lose travel as the will not compress as much

I brought all my bits separately, it's the only way I could get all the bits I wanted at a price I was happy with.

At 3" you are in the middle of either 3 degrees or 6 degrees castor correction requirement. If someone tells you you're not then they are talking bollocks, I know.

My advice is get all the bits first including trailing arms and radius arms. I am halfway through the suspension and know lack of funds is really messing me up.

i agree ian, i opted for 3 degrees because it makes the steering just that bit lighter and the propshaft is at an easier angle.

mine seems to be just fine so id say 3 degrees at 3"

cheers

is that the setup you use in yours to get 3'' lift dude??
surely the bearmach 2'' rear springs would be too soft for the front?
specially to use in a tdi

Rear springs are heavier poundage than fronts, so 2" rear lift the front around 3" !!

Anybody know what the caster angle on a std disco should be? Mine's raised 2" and I have 0.5 deg caster :s

3 degrees

Did you measure the swivel pin inclination?

Would be interesting to check mine
