If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
The springs sagged badly on the last D2 i had,and the OEM shocks were shagged.
MR auto suggested Kings springs and Bilstein shocks.
Had them fitted and it was like a different car,came up slightly higher than before and handled and rode beautifully.

My D2a was a 5 seater,coils all around,so different to yours.
But it did come up well,as the front was way down.
Sorry i dont know the numbers of the coils,as it was ages ago.
If know one here knows,i could call MR and ask them.
One thing i do know is springs are sometimes difficult to get right,my brother had heaps of issues before he got his D1 coils sorted.
So advice from someone that knows is critical.
Slunnie may know more?
FWIW,on another note,i just fitted a set of BP-51 shocks to the vehicle we have now,it handles and rides rediculously well,so much better than it did.
Unfortunately seems they are not available for D2,but for those with Defenders,they are available,but not cheap.

Thats a big difference. You will need to check your brake and ABS lines, they may very well not be long enough. Also you watts linkage, the lower link for clearance one the axle mount for the pivot housing - you will see what I mean when you're under it.
