Discovery 2" lift

Post by Phil on Mon Sep 06, 2010 11:02 pm

I'm going to be doing an off road day in the disco at the end of the month.

Anyone got any recommendations for giving it a 2" lift?

Haha I think there's a couple more of us on here too!

Is a lift kit something you could get a price for through your trade contacts or is it only really standard parts you can get?

Iron man lift kit on the 90, not had any problems with it, been on 9 year or so now.

You'll have to get some bigger tyres next, 33's maybe :p

Ended up buying some 75mm x 50mm box section and making my own blocks to lift it up ready for off roading on Sunday.

Total cost....... 5 whole pounds! Very Happy

Peet's the guy to speak to. Between him and his family they have about 7 land rovers!

I took the disco to cowm but ended up selling it soon after. It was fun but too expensive to run for something that didn't really put a grin on your face 90% of the time.
