Looking at getting a 2" lift fitted , am based on Isle of Wight but dont mind a bit of travel, any recomendations, after a reasonable price but want decent job, been told frog island will fit a terra firma kit for £300 does this sound reasonable ?
-
yh i payed 450 3 years back for pro comp fitted a local 4x4 garage
-
if that £300 includes the kit (and the kits are £250???) then thats a good price. £50 quid labour only gets you an hour at my local 4x4 garage.
-
sounds good deal to me ... id have spacers put aswell instead of wishing 3 years down the line id gone a bit bigger
-
do it yourself for free like i did. its not too hard. :)

Theres plenty of people on here which would help you I'm sure, but would of been easyier if you was in main land...
-
I'd say fit it yourself ,Theres loads if info and tips on here and as your fitting it You'll know how it goes together if anything breaks .It's only a 1 day job and not too hard at all ;)
Over the last 5 years I've owned the Disco I've done loads of little jobs and a couple of big ones (head gasket, Timing belt etc) and every time you do a job your knowledge and skills will improve to the point where things become less and less intimidating and if you break down you'll have a better chance of getting going again without help :D Comming from a life that revolved around motorcycles I knew nothing about Landrovers when I bought it but buy a manual and you will learn quick and save loads of dosh to spend on more goodies :D

I find if you do it yoursefl in the first place it's not so much a case that when it goes wrong you'll know how to fix it and more that becasue the person wielding the spanners actually gave a damn it's less likely to actually break down anyway.
Except for TDi head gaskets, they've got the better of me at the moment :evil:
