Thread: Dobinsons Lifted Coils

Hi there Small one,

Essentially the same as fitting them to a D1, except for the shock mounts as they are different orientation to D1. It is easier to remove the front brake hose clamps from the lower front spring plates to get the springs etc in without damaging the brake hose. Rear shock bolts upper and lower take an 18mm ring spanner...(Why isnt it 17, or 19mm?????)

I waved at you on the Midway point causeway on Sunday, but I was in the Lexus so you wouldn't have seen me...lesser vehicle and all

Any Q's just give me a call

What JC said. I got a solid 50mm from this exact set up, so absolutely no complaints here. Whike your doing the job I would definitely check the amount of drop you get on the front axle once the springs and shocks are in. You want to see wether the front prop shaft drops on to the front cross member at full extension. If so, you could consider spacers.

cheers
Nick

Hastykiwi did this kit level out your Disco or does it sit slightly high in the rear end....

Hey mate i got that same set up but in a D1 so it may be slightly different in height but i achieved a 2.5" Lift.

Depends. There are a couple of variations you can get, relating to the heavy duty or standard coils, also, do you have a bull bar on?

I got HD fronts, ready for bullbar later on, and Standard on the rear. The cra still sits as normal with a slightly higher rear. If I actually had the bull bar on you could assume it would settle just a touch in the front.

However you think about it, I reckon it still looks good.

You can check some picks in my albums.

cheers

Nice Looking Disco James.....


Nick i ordered ....(i Think) 190lb front & 240lb rear..
i was considering adding 20mm spacers under the rear springs....when fitting the kit...?
might see how it looks first... then make a decision about fitting spacers....
i will check out your album....
cheers smally....
