Whats involved in raising my D1 2"?

Hi tomalophicon

Are your King Springs the 100kg as shown in the Ebay ad above?

To be honest mate I don't actually remember.
They were the softest ones Suspension Stuff could supply though.
I can get a part number in the morning if they are still visible.
Tom.

That would be good Tom if its not too much bother - thank you - Gerry

I should also note that I have 25mm raised heavy duty King Springs in my Disco because I am running a steel roof rack, rear drawers, dual batteries and a 10k winch. All this weight drops it down to close to factory height and I have had no problems following my mate with a Disco with no other accessories other than a 50mm spring lift and that includes through the High Country. Cheers, John.

:):):)Discofever. Thank you John. My D1 is very stock standard at the moment, but I have bought a second one for parts. Eg. Bullbar, snorkel etc. I will also be looking out for a full length roof rack etc etc. So eventually the spring lift I am looking at will be needed as I progress and turn it into more of a beast than it already is. Have a good day mate. See ya - Gerry (wedgetail37)

i also have +2 king springs , bilsteins all round, 245x75 cooper st....
very very happy...(try smiths in albany)

Thanks Robbo, i will try Smiths. See ya - Gerry

hey wedgetail, not sure if you've bought a kit yet or not,

just thought i'd let you know how I went, I put a kit on from dobinsons in August. Medium rate load. It's great for towing and loaded up with 2 kids and all the stuff for camping. But it's pretty firm driving unloaded. I'd definitely avoid a heavy constant load. Id stick to the normal rate load unless your towing all the time.

Hi firsttracks.

Thank you for the info, i will take your advice as I don't tow very often. Have a good day. See ya - Gerry:):):)

I've had an ARB (just under 2") lift kit for about 19 years under my old girl, was a very very good investment.


I will do it again as it is tired but go to a full 2", and a 2" body lift. Both will be from Les Richmond, because as SSmith said "they have sorted out all the problems"
