    Suspension lift for D2 with airbags

    Hi all,
    Just joined forum and would like some info on lifting suspension on D2 with airbags, I'm sure this has been covered to death but it has taken too long to sift through the forums for an answer. I would like to keep airbags and am interested in spacer kits but don't know anything about them. I want to raise my vehicle 40-50mm, currently the front standard springs have sagged and I constantly bottoming out on pot holes and large bumps. I am looking at using Bilstein or Koni shocks and possibly tough dog or king spring raised heavy duty springs in the front. So far I have not got much help from suspension companies and my local LR supplier recommends a spring conversion kit, but I don't wish to go down this path. Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers Matt

    Searching should bring up a fair bit of stuff.

    The 4x4 innovaion kit for the SLS lift is good. That has spacers, and also comes with the extenders for the sensor links and so on.

    Thanks for the replies, Tombie I have sent you an email regarding your kit, I'm just awaiting your reply. It was a forum link that lead me to your kit. I am still new to these forums and not all that computer literate so it takes some time for me to find items using search.

    Hello!!!

    I'm currently in the middle of a night shift block, and during the days working in the yard building my new workshop so I've been sidetracked a little and barely go to the computer...

    SLS kits have been assembled aside from the final component which is being countersunk and should be ready for collection Tuesday..

    Then its just a quick tidy up (wipe dust off some of the parts ) and into packets ready to ship....

    Pricing will be finalised shortly.
