standard height
« on: September 17, 2007, 21:50:09 »
Well folks, i was going to put a 2" lift on the disco,but when you see all the pro's and cons, i think im going to leave it standard,

ive ordered the poly bush kit,
can anyone suggest a good heavy duty suspension package,bearing this in mind i will be towing the caravan as well,
i also purchased a nice set of 7j16 modulars, so im i right thinking ive got to keep to the standard tyre sizes?

Modulars are great but remember the offset is different and so they will stand further out than standard wheel/tyre combinations.

Land Rover OE HD rear springs, standard front springs, Koni adjustable shocks all round set firm on the rear and soft on the front. Can be a little harsh when completely empty, but is fantastic for towing or when laden. I towed a Desert Wolf trailer for thousands of miles with this set-up, as well as numerous caravans and other trailers, and it performed brilliantly.

I have 7.50's on mine with Hd springs on defender steels, the HD springs were from MM4x4 about £55 for the 4, just need to do a small cut to stop rears fouling when off road, the Hd springs gave about an Inch of lift, still handles ok on and off road. :)

I did this upgrade last year on my disco. I bought my police spec springs from MM4x4. they were the cheapeest place around. I too tow a caravan and the extra stability in corners is so much better. Less sea sick feeling!!!
