    Hi Duane OME 2" lift is a standard lift for a D1 or D2 and you don't need any castor adjustment at all, even with a 3" it's not needed on a D1, go get your money back.

    After a while the springs will settle and it will be around 30mm, well this is what happened to my OME 2" lift, because in reality the ARB 2" lift is actually 40mm, ARB have this obsession with not lifting Discos over 50mm 8O :roll:

    Cheers Baz.

    And ARB dont quote a 2" lift... thats the interesting thing....

    They have never mentioned 2" lift kits... In fact their lift heights are very well specified in their listings as 35-40mm for Discovery.

    Cheers

    Agree with Tombraider. No ARB dealer told me it was 2 inches - 40mm was what I was told - but everyone seems to call it "2 inch lift". And, the 40mm is above OE springs - mine went up up by 75 mm or so on one wheel because of the sagging over time.

    The standard springs really don't like a load (that is, a full tank of fuel), I found.

    I took a boot full of bricks to the tip before my OME springs were fitted and it looked like I was overloading the car. All I had in was 500kgs, which was still under the GVM.
