Thanks,

Yes in size and lift, but I do believe the the factory spring rates changed over the years and between the two.

I've got a 35mm lift with Toughdog adjustable shocks. I've got 0 degree caster now. i think Land rovers are meant to have -3 degrees and for every 1/2 inch higher lift the cast is adjusted but +1 degrees.

I've noticed a difference from the lift. It is more twitchy now. I kind of like the responsiveness but i'm not comfortable knowing it is wrong.

I'm going to get my swivel holes machined, most likely by LRA Castor correction

Also i changed the springs and shocks myself without much trouble. Carefull looking at 2 inch lift springs, i noticed they are not all actually 2'' lifts. I went with Toughdog because the were honest about the lift and my mate had them and was happy. I probably should have gone for the medium heavy duty springs in the rear though. Dobinson do a true 2'' lift. But i think they are twin gas shocks and not foam cell shocks. If that makes a difference to you.

Good luck
