Thread: Which suspension lift for Discovery?

Ridepro or OME (AR

just did a 2" lift on my 95 disco v8 used OME system, raised it 3" from what it was. the wife needs a ladder to get in now. has heavy duty springs all round. rear is a bit stiff when empty but good with a bit of weight in the back.

Did you have to do caster correction with this kit?

Ride pro, I love it, smooth ride, great shocks but a little bit of a trade off between load carrying and comfort on the rear springs.

With the tent on and all the gear in the back she still squats a little bit but isnt bad when empty.

Handles great when you have all your tyres pumped up lol.

All I think are much the same, just minor differences in shocks and spring rates.

I prefer to be able to put in some poly airs and still have a reasonable ride when empty rather than going really solid at the rear.

The Ride pro come with Big bore shocks and steering damper and they work real well.

Have fun, next step is the 235 85 16's, they look skinny but they work really well and you dont have to modify bugger all.

You wouldnt need caster correction for either OME or Ridepro as they are technically only a 2" lift and that is measured from the dry hight when new (or the published dry hight) so angles should be within tolerances.

Mine doesnt wander any more than it used to so I know the RP you dont need it.

I went pedders track rider 2" and tuff dog foam cell shocks. Did landcruiser mountain park the other weekend gave great ride and still great articulation.

Lovell's 50mm lift springs, Bilstein shocks, Regards Frank.

if its an auto definitely no, can cause vibrations. if its manual, ome will tell you that you need it, but most people on this forum say that you don't need it.
