    Looking for 2" lift kit for Disco 2

    Can anyone here can recommend me what's the most suitable 2" lift shockers and springs? The next three months will have an Alluminium roof rack, side awning and a roof top tent. Will most likely installing a winch in the next six month. My preference is blinstein with king coil but I also like to hear some other opinion.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm running an ARB Steel winch bar with 13,000lbs winch and Steel rock sliders. Full Alloy roof basket with awning. Custom made draw system with MSA slide. Custom made cargo barrier with divider and top shelf and a 32ltr Engle in all the time. The vehicle also has 3 batteries, compressor and tank so she isn't light. I also tow a 1.5t camper.
    I have Constant Heavy load Dobinson 2inch lift springs and TerraFirma plus 2inch all terain shocks.
    This has been a good set up for a vehicle set up to run heavy but I image it would be a touch on the hard side if you didn't have to load on all the time.

    I too are wanting to go up 50 mm, so am watching this with interest. Any suggestions on where to buy in Vic, or I am quite happy to buy over seas for good pricing.

    I would like bilsteins if I could find a reasonable price. I have SLS

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Get onto the Suspension Stuff website and tell them what you have, and what you want.
    Go from there
    EDIT
    Seriously, SS are tops.
    They'll put together whatever combo you want and they can source. I had fantastic communication with them, and it arrived within about three days.
    I got the mates rates kit with extra HD springs, ride is a bit harsh but Orange roads might have something to do with that.
    Fantastic load carrying ability though.

    i have the same setup.

    dobinsons in sydney are easy to deal with and quick service.
    suspension stuff are also good.

    They are pretty good - very good value. I have had them on my D2 for 85,000k. I think the back ones on mine are not the best now - not bad, but not good. Too much weight pounding them towing a 2 tonn boat, LPG etc. This time around I am going Bilstein's, but I have to wait for my Dobbo springs - stock + 20mm because they are yet to be poured!


    Cheers
