    Exclamation What's got your ride high?

    Hey all how are we!

    Just thought I'd ask the question on what suspension set up have you currently got on your disco?
    There is so many options out there and brands thought be a good idea to see what people have and there opinions on the products ect. And also costs and comparisons from high end expensive products to the cheaper or less known ones.

    My D2a is about to have 2" lift using terrafirma shocks with anarchy springs and steering dampner. Now I know terrafirma has a good name ect and I believe are well priced and as for anarchy well I've read reviews dismissing them purely on "there cheap they must be pretty crap" frame of mind but no real reviews on performance or how they go. So guess will find out myself.

    Looking foward to seeing what else we have out there!

    Bilstein +2" shocks all round
    King Spring front springs with 10mm spacers above them
    Les Richmond Automotive White Tiger 2" spacer kit installed, but modified to only provide 1" additional lift.
    SLS rear with above mentioned spacer

    Since you mentioned the steering components too:
    Bilstein damper

    Standard Suspension. Does have Helper Airbags in the rear. Usually run about 3-5 Psi unless loaded.
    Vehicle is awesome off road in standard format and can't see the need for a lift.
    Was going places last week that a mate in his lifted and double locker LC100 was struggling. A few times had serious air under the front end, but kept on going thank to TC.

    2" Suspension Stuff lift, King Springs and SS shocks.
    Extra HD so even with bar/winch/batts it's closer to 2.5 even now, been on for a fair while.
    Noticeably higher, I don't even attempt car parks but I can still climb up okay.
    Ride is fairly harsh unloaded but boy can it take on a lot of weight, then it rides quite nicely
    Next step will be helper airbags in the rear to make the ride a bit more pleasant, perhaps better shocks.

    Your ride looks very low for a 5" lifted vehicle!

    I have 2" springs and have modified the LRA spacers to only 25mm/1" lift and I run the same size tyres, but mine looks higher, despite yours having the extra 2" lift. Have the Terrafirma springs sagged much?

    They have been in for 3 years so chances are they possibly have.
    Have you cut your guards for aftermarket flares ?
