SeanDisco Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi, I've been told by a friend that i can lift my suspension on my disco using 4" x 2" box section. Has anyone had experience doing this? I will be putting +2" springs and shocks on soon and wanted to take it to 4" without spending £60 on spacers. Another thing i've noticed is that by putting spacers on the front it will lift the springs and dampers, on the back it only lifts the springs, Do's this mean that the front will sit 2" higher than the back?? Cheers, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie69 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 When using 4"x2" box you really need to weld one end up for extra strength,as for the rear dampers you need to fit shocker drop mounts to the chassis otherwise you will just over extend the shocks,the car will be raised 2" all round.

Bowie69 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Why do you think you need 4" of lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 DONT/DO NOT use box section, simple as that, at least you would have to weld the section into a box and then you will have rear shocker length problems, the box section will flex and it will feel like driving in jam and could collapse. I speak from experiance on this one!! 4" is putting to much stress on your prop-shaft uj's which will wear quickly, 2" with good high wall tyres will be far far better. Much better to buy a pre-made 2" block lift set which will allow you to use standard suspension parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 If you need that much lift then do a 2" suspension and 2" body lift. As said the front prop will not thank you and you will have seriously negative castor on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDisco Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Cheers for the replies, looks like im going to stick with 2" suspension lift and cut arches for bigger tyres. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
