Disco 1 ride hieghts for 2" lift

**waynep** · 4th November 2006, 04:47 PM

Wonder if some kind person has measured ride height on their 2" lifted Disco 1 lately.
I'm supposed to have a 2" lift but it looks a little "saggy" in the front. When I put the hi lift jack under the front bullbar and gently lift it up 30mm it looks much better at the front ( and obviously more ground clearance )

Settled heights are (vertical measure bottom to rim to top of wheel arch )
Front = 69cm
Rear = 72 cm ( with 1/4 full tank and no load in back )

I'm running 245/75/16 tyres, not that that should make any difference using the above measures.

Are these the sort of heights others are getting with a 2" lift ?

About 520mm from wheel centre to top of wheel arch should be right.

That is the measurement for the max air suspension height on a RRC, and is supposedly 50mm over standard hide height.

I'll check that though, and get back to you. Apparently, 470mm from wheel centre to arch is standard height.

Hi Wayne,
My 98 TDi with ARB lift has the following measurements:
Front measuring from bottom of rim to bottom of wheel arch is 715mm;
Rear measures 740mm.
Has bull bar, winch, steering protector on front.
Rear has 120 litre tank, Draw system, Kaymar bar and swing out tyre carrier. Tyres 245/75 Cooper STs

The system has been in place for around two and a half years with no troubes. Polyairs for towing van at around 2.1t to keep the old girl on the level.

Hope this hep.
Will.

Will and others thanks. Looks like I definitely have a sagging problem

I might be looking for some new springs and shocks I think
