Hi KVR I thought the same myself wanted to do 2 inch lift and stopped myself when a bloke who never had an landrover said have to change raduis arm, extent brakelines and blah blah I thought wooh!! also all them bushes to change to too cost a bleedy fortune! and then six months later reading one of them land owner mags no need!! can change the dampers and springs. 2 inch is okay anymore lift might have to extent the brakes but others are okay.
Although the front brake lines do not appear stressed on my 2" lifted disco the rear brake pipe was closed to being ripped out! I was jacking the body up to let the suspension hang and found the rear springs dislocate and the brake pipe was dead tight!
I recently posted all the mods on my 93 Spanish spec (I know I will get the pics) and found the dislocation, brake pipe, and tyres rubbing (265/75/16) were the only problems found so far in 4 months and about 6000 km. A recent trip to Spains version of the 'Grand Canyon' put the truck through some serious landscape and no problems were found.

Dave

why you thanking me?? I tried to save you the none needed hassel.
ARTICULATION is the key!!!!! hope you have the right springs so you don't have LESS than standard
Good point the articulation is there but the springs need guides to allow them back home to seats the shocks (9000 series) have bundles of travel.

for a 2 inch lift there's no need to do all the line's and bush's(unless they need it due to age/wear that is)..
for a 2 inch spring lift you take out the old standerd spring's and replace with the new one's you buy same with the damper's..
the whole job shouldent take more than a good afternoon to do, i do suggest getting new front shocker mouting ring's for the turret thou, but these are only a tenner for the pair(maybe cheeper elsewere)..and its 12 bolt's for the front and 8 for the back for the full job if i remember rightly.
