    Question Front spring spacers to suit Discovery 2?

    Anyone know if there are any spring spacers to suit the front coil springs on a Discovery 2? Around 5 to 10mm in spacing height?

    Yes, just run a normal spring spacer from any suspension outlet and sit it between the top of the coil and the cone/isolator/OE shim.

    spacers or new springs

    Following the logic of this thread - the front springs on my TD5 have sagged about 25mm - regularly hits the bump stops. Rear OK - but a bit soft when loaded for camping trips

    I was thinking new springs and shocks (probably at both ends as no doubt if I restore the front to the proper height, or slightly lifted (25mm) the back will sit lower!).

    But what about spacers? Does this have the same effect? Advantages or disadvantages?

    Any explanation appreciated

    Front springs in these tend to come very close to compressing solid. I would be more inclined to fit new springs at the front, especially if you have a bullbar. Rears doesn't matter too much assuming the shocks are happy with the longer freelength.
