I'm picking up my '95 Disco in just over a week and i've got some trips coming up that i'll need some clearance and suspension travel for. I'm kinda stuck between wether I want to go 2" Body and 2" Suspension lift or just a 3" Suspension lift. What is swaying me away from the body lift is that it is the airbag model so I don't know about lifting the bull bar and what not along with the body. I'm also looking for as much articulation as possible whilst still riding well as my everyday driver. I know with the 3" lift that i'll need to extend the brake lines, change the rear prop shaft to a uni joint, possible castor correctors and what not. I'm looking to do it as cheap as possible as money is a bit tight at the moment. What does everyone recommend? What can I get away with? I'll be running a set of 33' tyres in the future but at the moment I have a set of 32's to go on it but I also plan on chopping the arches and getting a flare kit.

2" lift is fine for 33's if you are planning on flares , i dont think the body lift will be legal with airbag models. Caster correction not needed for 2" lift .

As above. The best engineered body lift I have personally seen is the Les Richmond Auto one. Perhaps give them a call to see if it is ok with airbag models.

As far as the suspension goes, I'd stick with the 2" lift and dampers to take advantage of that. At the Vic 4wd show I saw that Ritter Automotive have some new dampers for an extended articulation kit. Again you could get in touch with them or look at what LRA are offering with their long travel kits.
