Mine's on block's, only thing is the springs don't give as much off road but then if it was 2" spring's you get more wobble on the road.

Chris speak to will reference it mate it ground out a section to give it more movement as mines a 4 inch lift. It still could do with the wide angle but will help with the standard prop

Well mines on 2" springs but it doesn't seem that high so gonna add the blocks to see how that does, gives the wheels a bit more room if nothing else.

Not really interested in modding mine Dan as they still wear quickly if the angle is too great so I'd rather fit wide angle ones if thats what it needs

Sorry your message seems to be missing a couple of words mate.
You've got a set of 4 2.5" lifting blocks? I'd be interested, are they designed lifting blocks or home made? Any pictures?

i run my discovery with235/85/16s with 2 inch spring 2 inch spacers with cranked arms front and rear and it was ok with standered props on it i had a small vibrations point at 70 but once you were over that speed it was gone so never bothered changeing them for uprated ones

Just drove my new toy home.
200 miles in the rain, at night in a 42 year old Landy, M4 & M25 were quite frankly frightening.

Chris indeed there what you want but made a big difference on mine I'm going to get wide angle props next year but spent enough at the moment I also have a 2 inch with 2 inch lift blocks

Interesting first time you drive one, feels good once you get going though.

What's the difference between that and the defender you got rid of? Apart from the obvious of course.

I'd love an old 88" just to drop a V8 in and take it trialling.
But not giving up on modding Disco's just yet
