I'm putting a lift on my discovery 1 ( 2 inch shocks and springs and 2 inch spacers) and I installed the back with no problems, but in the front I can't reconnect the sway bar and the springs seem to be at an angle and not fully seated and I'm not sure if with the shocks if they connect to the first or second hole on the spacers (they're britpart). :confused:
 
With such a high lift it causes the axel to twist so the holes will not line up. U have managed to get the back but there will begreat pressure on the trailing arms at the angle they are now at. the fronts u will not get with a lift of that height. U need cranked castor and trailing arms. Prob 6degree for a four inch lift. But this will the change the angle of the prop shafts so u will therefore need to fit wide angle props/UJ'S as the original uj's won't last log an will keep wearing out.
 
Haha doesn't look like it does it?!

For the time being if u cannot afford all mods I've mentioned above, u can fit off set bushes. These will give u a better chance of aligning the castors. It's still a squeeze and a pain in the arse but it will go. Although axel will still be slightly twisted along with a belly in the spring it will do for time being because full set of arms and wide angle props don't come cheap. Hope this helps mate.
