Thread: 2 inch body lift on a disco 1

cut the guards and put flares on - mine have 1 inch body lift (just to fit the motor) and 2" spring and easily run 35s with the flares.

only problem I now have is too much articulation!!!

Too much articulation is barely enough!

For 32s the 2" spring lift should be enough, although the camel cut rear guard always needs to be done.

Unless they're extremely wide.

a 2 + 2 combination should get 35s under there, with some flares.

15x 8's are a bit overkill for the tyre size, 7" rims will fit better and rub less.

so has anyone had troubles with a body lift?

is it as easy as most other 4wds, ie: longer bolts, neoprene blocks, brakelines and steering arm?

30mm lift on Rangie Classic. Extended clutch and rear brake hoses. Spacers and longer bolts. Loosened steering column spline bolt and then retightened. Slight modification to seatbelt brace brackets.

Depending on which state you are in poly blocks are not allowed, alloy or steel would be better.

Body lift- Simple job, it's the small stuff like seatbelts, radiator and bumper relocation are the things that make it a more 'professional' looking (I didn't lift my bullbar for the 40mm body lift I did, hardly tell it's been lifted).

You'll need 10 50mm blocks either steel or ally (mine's ally), mounts for the seatbelts (I used 10mm strip steel and 4 pins for the seat belt anchors), 50mm blocks for the load carry area (4 mounts) and to re-mount your brake line turn the rear t-piece 90 degrees and bleed brakes. Re-mount your front brake line mount 50mm lower (I did this) unless you are running long travel shocks you'll probably be better off getting longer brake lines (say 100mm for both the body and the longer travel shocks). I'v seen these mounted on a spring on the guard to eliminate the longer line binding up in the coils springs when compressed.

All up without the brake lines for me cost abouut $100. The LRA kit is about $700 for a 2.5 inch lift but you get the lot and is engeneer approved so they say.

Whatever you do, don't be dodgy. It's simple not worth it.
