2 Inch Spring lift. 2 inch body lift. Keeps centre of gravity low so you wont fall over on a decent sideslope. LRA long travel kit + matching Bilsteins. Driveline angles will be still ok with this setup. Put on 35's and you'll have 6 inch lifted patrols winching off your tow hitch.

i have a 2.5 lift on now with simex 33.5 find the clearance pretty good but i have poor travel. 1tuff disco do you have lra's long travel kit in your disco. so is there lift approx. 2-3",cause they talk about bump stop measurements.

Yeah I have LRA long travel kit and if you already have 2 inch spring lift then the shocks will give you a lot more travel, that is what limits the downward travel. Plus you get dislocators so the spring will drop off its seat. Make sure you run soft springs as well, you will not get any flex with 200 lb plus springs in the front. Remember to get a maxi drive ball joint in the a arm also as the std one wont handle the flex. No need to get snake arms, drill swivels to correct castor. Std arms in front are strong enough to race. Rear ones can either buy stronger ones or sleeve your own. Search on here for more on that
