'98 disco - suspension w/out lift
Hello all, like everyone I've been spending time and money into the disco and keeping her rolling.
Recent engine, transmission and body work aside I added an ARB bull bar (no winch, potentially in the future), FirstFour on the back and RRC sliders from RN.
As the suspension is factory from all the way back I am in the market for a replacement system. I don't know a lot other than the Driving is rough right now. Seems a bit rougher than '01 say, when I picked her up. Guessing that is normal wear and tear. Disco has never been a light truck but with the added lbs I am thinking I should be proactive here. I understand there is more to consider around steering, and I'm sure other areas of safety, around suspension.
My goal is sustained garage parking in the city. I prefer be able to drive into at least 50% of garages and I believe with the available suspension kits, a lift is required?
Is there a way I can increase the ride quality on and off road without grabbing all that lift? Typically a garage has 2-3 inches clearance over the stock rover + stock roof rack. I have no roof rack per se, expedition style or otherwise and don't plan on it given my interest in keeping clearance as low as possible. Any thing I haven't thought of and advice is much appreciated!
Thanks,
-Adam
