Hi
I'm
Looking to raise the suspension on TD5 disco 2 52 plate not facelift. a little.
What's the best long term solution for this.
Car needs to remain sensibly the same but up so the bumpers and carriage can get over some off road obstacles
Best tyres ?
Can Facelift lights be fitted? and How

Welcome,
I think the D2 needs a 2 inch lift to make it look more in proportion. If your truck is on coil springs all round then the cheapest method would be to fit spring spacers but you should fit + 2 inch rear shock absorbers as they will 'top out'.
The rear ARB can be refitted using tow bar spacers.
Check that your brake hoses can cope with the lift or replace them with longer ones.
This info is based on a D1, I'm assuming the D2 is the same.
