to lift or not to lift?

poony · Apr 7, 2013

hello i'm thinking about putting a 2" lift on my disco and was wondering how much extra work is involved to keep a half decent ride on the road? do i need to compensate by changing propshafts and brake lines or can i get away with just suspension and trailing arms etc?

2" spring lift requires no additional mods.

My mate had a 2" lift and like l&p said, he didn't have to do anything really... And im sure the ride wasnt affected...

depends why you want the lift.

iv got 2" on mine and its fine, i use mine off road though so went for extended hoses etc for articulation etended bump stops etc.

Well I split the difference and have gone for a 20mm rear and 30mm front lift bearmach blue springs. But I bought heavy duty ones and I'm worried about my my teeth coming out on bumps so I haven't fitted them yet.

The reason for picking these is because I do some green laning but I want springs for overland travel when the Land Rover has all the kit on.
