Can I just clarify that you don't want to get 2" springs because you don't know what you're looking for?

You shouldn't have any probs with brake lines or unis, personly i'd just go with longer springs, if your not shore what springs to go with talk to Shane from suspension stuff!

CHEERS TIM.

if you are going to the trouble off changing the shocks get new springs as well get it as a set to match each other, you will get better ride and more wheel travel, if you just use lift blocks and long shocks i think the spring will dislocate from its perch if not retained i'm sure some one else can correct me if that is incorrect, but do it the right way. A 2'' lift will go into a defender with out any problems at all. ring one of the landrover specialist guys and ask them what is the best for your needs, don't ask ARB or TJM those guy only know s**t about those s**tfull toyota's.

IMO just buy a set of 2" lift springs. I really dislike spacers.

on all my rover's i take the sway bars off for better wheel travel, the county only had one on the rear to start with but gone now.

Yeah and i hear they have a third nipple and stare at wombats with that crazy eyed look that only penguins seem to get when they have a bowl full of cornflakes.
