I haven't had anything to do with disco II, but with rangie and disco fronts with radius arms, I remove a front bolt from a radius arm.
With the shockie removed, it allows the axle to droop enough to fit springs with a free height of 470mm without using a spring compressor.
Did you fit the springs and find the the loaded height of the springs is only 25mm more than the stock ones?Quote:

If the second, I would assume that the new springs have a higher spring rate. Which means they wont compress as far when loaded. So 25mm taller with no load could well be 50mm taller when comparing loaded heights.
Very good point, I only measured the free height. But now you have me thinking......... bastard...:p
I'm pretty sure that most 2" lift springs are around the same free height as standard springs, with most of the gain coming from a change in spring rates. I'm pretty sure that the springs for the V6 Frontera I used to own even had some extra coils put on just to increase the free length back to standard.
