:lol:

Because people have tried and failed, it doesn't mean that it cant work. I was told when I was building my Disco2 that it couldn't be lifted over 2" with the suspension design, I was also told that the "only" way to do it was 2" springs and 2" body lift. I was also told that if I did a 4" spring it "would" fall over, where 2" + 2" is stable. These were all by people in the know. Well, 4" lift only, 35's etc and its all still sweet, and there are now manufacturers who have found the same and are marketing up to 5" spring lifts. Also body lifts on a D2 are still rare.

If its as wide as a GQ, as high as a 4" lifted GQ, and 4" GQ's are not having stability problems, and infact comping sucessfully with significantly higher ride heights then I'm not sure why it would be a problem (apart from the wheelbase) in a Disco. I think many of us are stuck in the 2+2 mould as the only option. :D

Firstly, Good on you for being different and treading on new ground ( and a few toes).

i used to run a 6 inch lift in a defender, but took it out as it had bugger all flex. Looked good, and was very stable on corners, but didn't suit my needs.

My current 110 is lifted 4" in the springs, but i have 7" offset 15x10s and 35s, which makes it corner way better than my dads stockie.

Cooter, your car just looks out of proportion, as it has small tyres, if you had 35s or 38s :shock:, i dare say no one would say it looks unstable.
