    Standard Springs - with 10mm lift

    I have a 99 D2 TD5 with standard suspension.

    I do not want to do a lift, but my springs are sagging, so just want to replace the Springs. I have seen "Standard" King Springs that say they are standard but will give a 10mm lift over OEM, do I need to change my shockers ?

    Opinions gratefully accepted.

    You don't need to replace your shocks for that much lift. In fact you can use standard shocks up to 2" lift.

    And if you have a bullbar / winch you should get back to standard height - thats what happened on my disco with these springs.

    Have "Standard" Kings Springs and standard shockies, No problems at all and yes it is a little higher but not enough to worry about unijoints or getting in/out

    yes done many kings std (KRFS06 Front and KRRS04 Rear)replacements and about 10mm over std height seems the norm. a 30mm lift in a D2 is achieved (especially if running a steel bar) by using kings numbers KRFR06 front and KRRR04 in the rear. I have been using std length terrafirma shocks with these springs as they are about 15mm longer than oe shocks, and despite what some say the standard length TF118 and TF119 (Disco 2 ) terrafirma shocks don't seem to have the same issues as their extended length ones .

    Have fitted many sets and no problems so far.
