Gents,
Got a 2" lift kit from a friend of mine who went to 3".
Set comprises:
Bilstein shocks - custom shocks, variably valved and custom damped. Harder on tar than standard, but softer than standard off road. They are also longer than standard, to match the springs.
Rear: Progressive OME 762 (medium duty)
Front: Progressive OME 761 (medium duty) + spacers (these are for a Disco1, only give 25mm lift)
Initial feedback after driving from the workshop back home and to work this working: much better road holding. While the setup is slightly harder than LR setup, it's not bone-jarring. And with the Bilsteins, you don't keep bounding after going over speed bumps - there are many on my daily commute.
Will have to try them offroad soon!
