Disco 2 Do you need extended shocks for a 0.8 inch lift at the front? Air suspension in the back (SLS)

Normally everything is a 2 inch lift, I'm working with something less here

My car currently:
- D2 V2 4.0L with SLS and ACE
- Standard height, no bullbar, factory rear bumper
- All factory shocks, factory front coils, and OEM rear air suspension, factory bump stops

A friend gave me some low-mileage front springs (Dobinsons C51-032) which say they've got a 20mm lift, and in the tech specs it says "0-2 inch lift height" whatever that means...

I want to buy:
- new shocks front and rear
- new rear airbags
- new bump stops front and rear

Do I need to buy all of those standard height, or for a 2-inch lift?

Do I need to buy spacers for standard airbags, or 2-inch lift airbags? Or just get a friend with a Nanocom to lift the back?

Shocks: considering fancy Bilstein (standard height only), or cheaper Britpart ones (sub-brands are Cellular Dynamic or Super Gaz) at either standard height or 2" lift.

You don't need to buy anything for 20mm extra height. Then again I don't understand why you would bother doing anything for such a small increase in height in the 1st place.

I understand

My bad, to clarify:
- I got the 20mm springs for free.
- And I want to buy new suspension in general.

Why? Rear airbags are old, had both drop a few times and then come back later. And the shocks are horrible going over speed bumps, feel it bottoming out.

So just thinking to adapt around those free springs I got and buy shocks/airbags/bump stops to suit.

Well that now makes more sense.
Just buy standard avoid ****part
