Discovery 2" lift question

[IrishdiscoOz]

I have a Landrover Discovery series 1 with a Terrafirma 2" lift kit fitted and I'm not happy as it's very bouncy and soft in the rear end. I was wondering is there any way of fixing this or is there a better combination of shocks and springs to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say your shocks are not up to the task and/or springs are too firm .

Just installed Kings 2 inch raised HD coils + Bilstein shocks in my D1, firm ride but sure footed , quite a satisfactory result as far as I am concerned ~

other people's views are in thread ~ search for relevant thread "d1 suspension recommendations sought"

Hey mate,

Welcome to the forum, go Old Man Emu's - a far better ride all round.

Other than that - bouncy and soft, is not a good combination
You could go a better dampening shock, but you'll end up chasing your tail, changing components here and there.
