forgot two things, have to extend the steering ( Ayres did that ), and had to get it certified, but it also has a 4" spring lift so REALLY needed a cert..

I think I recall a few months ago that Dullbird has installed a 2 inch spring lift to fit them mongral tyres, this is just from memory so I may be wrong.Quote:

In Victoria you will probably not get a certificate if you have SRS Air Bags fitted (lots of red tape). Not sure how you go in other states.
With a 2 !/2" lift you don't have to EXTEND the steering rod - but you have to loosen every link and file a bit on the end of the main rod and then you can JUST make it all work.
G'day Lou,
1" is easy, 2" is harder - as there in enough thread on most of the seat belt mounts to still work rather than extending. Both come from Coopers - longer bolts and new rubber body bushes or for a "pucker" kit do the LRA 2.5".
Disco 1 may also be harder with the steering column - Rangies have more adjustment on the splines.
If you want any info - give me a ring.
As for engineering -we have ways......

Body lift is better for centre of gravity as you are only lifting the body. With a spring lift you are lifting the body & chassis and every thing mounted to the chassis above the springs(fuel tank, engine etc...).Quote:
Not the best for on road travel, as you have a higher centre of gravity.
