2" lift on a DSII

Post by G4George »

I would like to lift my Disco SII approx. 2" any suggestions? Longer springs are easy to come by but who else besides OME offers a longer shock, Bilstein only seem to make a direct replacement for Original Equipment and say that I can use these for a lift but I won't gain any droop. With the lift I also want extra droop so that I can improve my RTI otherwise my ride will be taller with less RTI and that kind of defeats the purpose of lifting it...
any one ? :?

Have a talk to Andrew Richmond of Les richmond Motors in Melbourne.

They have the best range of springs in Aus to suit Rover's.

Both bilstien and koni make shocks to suit.

I dont think the OME shocks are much longer than the stocker shocks anyway, thats if they are not the same size. The original OMEs were a little longer but the propshaft started hitting the cross member so ARB shortened the shocks again. I think OME are designed more for comfort and load carrying anyway, more so than RTI figures.

Cheers, I appreciate the input and will be picking up my Bilstein and Lovell's package today from Britswed. I will tell all what I think after the install and initial settling in period.
