Thread: Newly Lifted Disco

Someone on here has fitted Ranchos previously, buggered if I can remember who or where, but they were ****-canned as being very poor. Best to go with the consensus on these I think, there are reasons why some brands are recommended.

I think adjustable are just a gimmick.Rancho have an ordinary name especially in rovers.Billies and Koni's are highly recomended.I like my ome but some more travel would be nice.Cheers Brett

I'm thinking of putting some 30mm spacers under my 2"kings to give me a 3" lift than i was thinking of fitting some 4" shocks and dislocating cones and than some 32" tyres with a bit if a triming around the rear panal.
Do you guys think this would work??

CHEERS TIM.

Bush65 got 3" in his D1 by using Landcruiser springs.

Rancho 9000's are crap, I've been through a couple of sets. They dont take big hits very well, and once overheated they dont ever properly recover. I can trash on demand to be honest. 30mins is all I need on some corrugations, loaded and the shocks set stiff.

IMHO the adjustable valving is fantastic as you can dial in the control or the comfort that you want/need from the suspension, and setup rates that will keep the 4WD composed and balanced when things get gnarly.

I have been told by guys with 3 inch lift that it will wander a bit without some mods, so I have been told. IMO better off going 2 inch coil lift with the longer shocks but fit a 30 or 40mm body lift for the extra height. Dislocation cones are fine, I have just fitted some to the back of my disco and I love them. 32" tyres are fine, but you will need to camel cut the bottom of the rear guards

I have 2 inch coil lift, 2 inch body lift, 26.5 inch rear procomp shocks and dislocation cones and mine drives like new on and off the blacktop....it's a great combination

this is the link to my truck with some pictures for you
