Thread: Lifting the Green Machine

Best thing to do is use the search function of this site.

There is heaps of gear available, I would ring LRA (Les Richmond Automotive) or search there website for suspension info.

They are great and have a fantastic range with great advice.

Hi Ken
2 inches total including the tyres(ie bigger diameter) is the law without going into permits/engineering etc.
There are other kits advertised as 2" or 50mm,but in reality are more around 40mm.
I put an EFS kit on mine last year,+50mm springs and shocks,RTC strreing damper and rear polyairs,$1395.00 delivered rings a bell.
Fitted myself.
Has your Disco got ACE???
If so I would get a slightly softer setup.
Everyone has their favorite brands,Bilstiens work best according to most with lovells or kings springs.
The general thoughts when I got mine was to avoid Pedders.

The disco has ACE what spring rates would you recomend i drive the beastie every day for work with a trailer in tow and when we go camping. I am thinning the camping gear out a bit as i really dont want the dead weight of the trailer on the long trips ie Extra Fuel and makes it harder to traverse the more difficult tracks off road so im trying to keep everything in the back of said beastie im in the process of DIY false floor for storing most of the camping , recovery gear so im not sure of the weight i will have in the back my trailer is an off road 6 x 4 box type "A 750kg" it carries three ladders four crates with gear in plus me lunch box Esky hehe and the radio so roughly around 100 kilos plus trailer which is around 300kg i also have two lads in the car they both weigh around 90kg and im about 85kg

Yer as stated they are great, but if you want anything bigger than 2" they are the wrong people.
They have great info, big prices & don't look highly on people wanting any more than 2" lift..... this is my own personel opinion of coarse

why do you need to go larger than 2" spring?
have you considered a bodylift or have you got airbags and all that fun stuff which kinda makes everything illegal?
