If you are running soft enough springs to get the gain out of these arms and the rear link set up on a Rover, having anything over 3-4 inch lift in the springs is going to net huge axle roll axis oversteer and not be very friendly on the road.
but each to their own. I already gave you guys a little plug on Pirate4x4 in the Rover section.
My vote is as I am sure you are already aware of Greg; 2".
Reason being, I can fit 235/85r16's nicely. They suit me for wheeling/touring, the lift suits my wife for daily driving (one car family), and we have our Tvan with matched tyre size.
sorry for the slow reply, i have been off competing at farm fantastic all weekend. Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
I have the std height arms in the disco at the moment, and will be putting a 2" lift (+ 2" arms) on thursday, so i will get some more pics then.
cheers
Greg

I don't like bump stop clearance as a measure of suspension lift. I think you could find 3 different people give 3 different measurement from the same lift, due to the angle of the bump surface on the axle at ride height.Quote:

Hopefully that is my rant for this week.
Sounds like me not liking mudguard measurements :DQuote:

Other than measuring spring loaded heights, it's the closest approximation we can make, but you're right, and for the reasons you mentioned I insisted on only one person measuring when doing car setups, just for consistency as you can easily get a mm or two difference with two sets of eyes on a tape or steel rule and a stringline.
The problem is that what is called a 2" lift on a Rangie or Disco can be close to standard on a 110, or even lower than stock when looking at the rear of a 130.
We need a standard reference and it's the closest, easiest spot I can think of.
6" is where you start looking at portals isn't it.
Are all std front arms from same era models the same part no? If so there must be variation in either castor measurement on vehicle (not likely outside half a degree or so), location of mounts for arms or rotational location of the swivel plate to account for the variation in castor created by differing standard hights.
If not. Ignore.
46mm ID 52mm OD, which is a std size for 90% of the 2" shocks. Shims and piston are same sizing as kingsQuote:
