SubscriberWhat's required for a 2" lift (suspension lift) - just springs and shocks?
Approximate cost?
What's the height (clearance height) of a 2" lifted Disco 1 ?

Pretty sure the rubber donut on the rear prop shaft needs changing to a uni joint. I've seen lots of threads on here about it wearing out not long after a 2" lift. I'm sure someone with a 2" lift can verify!!

SubscriberHmm maybe I should be more specific / clear
When I said clearance I was actually trying to work out the max height, so I can see what car parks I can go in?
What's standard?
(Obviously a 2" lift would be 2" higher than that. Boy I'm a maths genius)

SupporterA 2" lift is a very general term. I did a post quite a while back comparing a whole bunch of different cars that had a so called 2" lift. The height difference was from 25mm to 75mm over standard. On average a 2" lift will measure around 500mm - 515mm from the centre of the rim to guard lip. So measure what you have now (which is probably lower than standard 470mm due to sagging) and add the difference to your height.
Also if the shockers are still in good condition and are a bit tight for cash you can use the standard ones for a while as they are the same length as my 2" ones.
My donut worked fine for a long time with the 2"lift. It was the extra load of the bigger tyres and diff lock that killed it.
Caster correction might be the only other mod needed. Every Disco is different though, most don't need it. Best to drive it after the lift and see how it feels.
Cheers, David.
