I have a 91 Rangie and was wondering if std 80 series springs will fit or not and if so how much lift will I get roughly ??

std 80s fronts give a disco 3.5 inches of lift roughly

Ok if you put a std 80 springs in the rear and same in the front the rear would sit lower than the front ...

If you fit a std rangie rear in the front u gain about 2 1/2 maby 3 inches

When I put my standard Rangie rear coils in the front it gave me a 2" lift from a stock height. This is because the standard coils would have been sagged a bit. I imagine it would have been 2.5" from where it was sitting in its sagged state.

Yep thats about it i did much the same on a rangie ...

tho like i said using std 80 springs all round would make the back sit lower than the front i rekon ...

So will the 80's fronts in the rear of the Rangie give it a 3.5" lift or is it less ??
I'm just trying to sort it out as I only want about 2" - 2.5" lift and I have been looking around for a 2" lift at ARB, Ironman and a few others but all I keep getting told I can only get about a 30mm - 40mm max and don't seemed to be to interested in helping me at all after I told them it was for a Rangie
I'm looking at 2" as I wan't to try and fit some 285/75/16's under it and I am willing to trim the guards to fit them if need be as I already have the flexi flares donated to me

mate i have custom mounts in my disco but i am running 4inch lift 80 springs in the rear 2 inch lifted 80s springs in the front i made the front perches a bit higher gives me about7 inches over standard height (aprox)

I can get you coils and that will sit you any height that you want but they will be Range Rover coils not 80 Series. I will need to know what accessories you have so we can get her to sit level.

You are going to have to trim your guards no matter what. You have to trim them for 31" tyres and you are planning on 33" tyres just about. Make sure you draw it first. Don't do it free hand like me

Shane.

iwas gunna head over to see ya lokka but my mates lux was gettin real hot and i had to tow a couple of people out of lavis"s
will meet up another time mate



and the reason i went 8o series springs was that the spring rates i wanted were an off the shelf item for the 80 but custom for the rover most of the parts on my truck are easily accesable parts

Thanks for that.
I will give you a buzz when I am ready for the lift as I was only asking about the 80's as I was told they should fit was all.
And how much lift will I need for 33's as thats the max size tyre I want to run which is why I was looking at some 285/75/16 as this will be ample for my needs.

Trav

I ran 33" tyres with a 2" lift. Basically just get the lift you want and cut guards to suit. If you did want 35" tyres for arguments sake then I would get a body lift to accommodate them. Others may have had other experiences.

I think it does depend on the offset of the rim. My rims were Hurricanes which were zero offset and it worked well for me and ran 675mm rear shocks which are 5" longer then the normal 2" lift shocks.

Cheers
Shane

i run 33" x 10.5" muddies under my 1988 rangie, a little guard trimming on the front, and rubbing on the rear doors, roughly 4 - 5" spring lift

Yep no probs cooter mate i understand about lux's with bigger motors on the beach they just cant handle the work and keep their cool ...

As for towing others down lavis mate i have the same drama there too i towed out my bros missus playdoh and the camper at the same time as well as towing my trailer with all my gear down lavis the day after we saw u

patrol owners get a bit embarrased whe a disco tows em out


did you see the pics i took at abermain the other day in trips and tracks?

mate just 2 inch springs and about a 32inch tyre on his disco and it scrubs like a dog.
His tyres are trimming the gaurds them selfs. look mum no hands

next is 50mm spacers and new rear diff one with out a big hole in the back of it.

no idea Center diff was stuffed as well that probobly did'nt help the cause.

He just picked up another disco for 1000 bucks just needs a buff, so he's wrecking it as we speak.
