G'day mate,
I'm taking it that you are looking at fitting the 2.5" Body Lift kit???
I've got a 1997 Discovery that I fitted the Body Lift and long travel suspension to myself. It's not hard at all, just a little time consuming and a little patience required, I used 2 jacks, supported both of the sills with wood and jacked both sides up slowly. It comes with full instructions that are easy and straight foward to follow you can view them on the internet.

But if you all and talk to Andrew ( 03 9464 4094 ) I'm sure he will give you the run down on it all. They are a great mob of blokes to deal with and would suggest to anyone to use them!

Holy macoroni and cheese batman!!! $790 for a body lift?!??!!?
Did my 80mm lift for for about $130! nice kit but still.
Its not that hard just make sure you remember to unbolt everything before lifting body. Best way to lift body is undo all bolts first then lift 1 side at a time a lot safer and less chance of misalignment.

Yeah, the kit isn't cheap but it's bluddy good, realigns the bull bar and has gear stick extensions and everything. Like anything you get what you pay for!

I have both of these kits in the bob tail and have no complaints , I think they are both well engineered and designed.
The body lift is easy enough to fit , just take your time and all will be good. The same goes with the suspension kit , easy enough to fit and gives good results.
Cheers

I had a hassel with the bull bar leveling part of it. As you need
to lift the radiator but with the oil & auto cooler lines its a PITA
to lift, so I left the radiator alone & made different brackets, took
longer to do the bullbar than the rest of the BL..
All good now..
