Thread: suspension lift seriesII disco

Firstly, you want to keep the air suspension in the rear, it is fantastic and often very handy. I have SLS & ACE and run a 2" lift and can run 34" Simex's no problems but run 32" MTR as everyday road tyre.

For the front I use custom springs from Browns Springs but there are many Off-the-shelf 2" lift springs.

For the rear I have 2" spacer blocks which fit under the SLS bags and are very easy to install. The spacers are made by Michael Samootin at 4x4Design Engineering. You can contact him at enquiries@4x4de.com.

Michael also make many other things such as Rock Sliders and Steering protectors for the Disco II.

Adam,

Did you change the shockies? Was there anything else that had to be modified as a result of putting the spacer blocks under the springs?

I am considering a lift on my 94 classic.

I use tough dog shocks all round which are longer than standard.

The spacer blocks come in a kit with everything needed such as extended bump stops and the raiser bracket for the SLS sensor and new mounting bracket for the ABS & brake lines. This kit is specialy made for the Disco so i doubt it would work on the Rangie.

The spacer blocks are not just blocks as you would use on a body lift but are engineered and laser cut so that the bottom of the air bags click into them. (not a very good explanation but best I can do :? )

Stevo,
Here is a pic which shows how much lift I have still with the air bags. This is running 34" tyres. The good thing about the air bags is that no matter how much weight you put on the back they just pump up more to keep the ride level.

Thanks for that Info, you explained it well.

Hey Walker - any chance of a close up of your steering guard and front recovery points? I need to source one for my S1 Disco and I'm trying to get a look at everything available.

Cheers,

Mac

thanks Adam for the info will look into that as well, sounds like that might be the go

pm slunnie from this forum overlander and ask him for advice. He custom made his 4" with 35 inch Simex and did an awesome job. he knows his stuff.
cheers
