mikeyb13 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I use my 1993 v8 discovery for everyday use but i want to take up abit of greenlaning in the summer. I have fitted some 2 inch lift spacers from Gwyn Lewis's as I have BFG M/T tyres that were catching the arches, but now my drivers side front spring is sagging and my passenger side front shocker is leaking and its causeing scrapeing when i take left hand corners. So I thought if I'm going to change the suspension I may aswell upgrade it. I was thinking of getting some +3 inch springs and +5.5 inch shockers and using the spacers that I already have. Do you think this will be OTT? will it still be road legal? All advice and recommendations would be helpful. thanks in advance Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie69 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If you are only using for greenlaning I would only put 2" lift on this paired with a good set of tyres will get you almost every where with out any problems.I have had 3 disco's now and only ever lifted 2" and paired with 265 75 16 tyres.

mikeyb13 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks for the advice wolfie69. My other half has bought me the 3 inch lift springs already so they will have to go on, so it going to be a 3 inch lift for now i think. would I still be able to use the 5.5inch shocks with just the 3 inch springs or is that going to cause problems?
