Just a little pointer- I had trouble installing the lift springs because of space. I had to put the LR bottle jack between the axle and frame and actually jack the axle downwards. Just be careful to not overextend the brake hoses. Here is a good write-up:http://www.4x4wire.com/rover/disco/tech/ome/
I must be really slow- 'cause it took me close to 3-4 hrs. Think I spent 1/2-3/4 hr just on the front shocks and towers

I had my disco, and installed my springs and shocks using that 4x4wire write-up way long before I knew about this site. It was really helpful.

Ok now that the suspension has settled a little bit..
pre lift it was 31 3/4 at front and back.
Now its..
Drivers side rear 34 1/4 +2.5
Drivers side front 34 +2.25
Passenger Side Front 33 3/8 +1.6
Passenger Side Rear 33 1/2 +1.75
Out of what was SUPPOSED to be a 3" lift?
Im going to get some trim packers to level it out. And it LOOKS great. I honestly wouldn't want more, just pissed its not 3".. .

If you go to the OME site you will notice that they really don't have a measurement on there systems, they are rated for the weight you will carry. 2" or 3" are just generalized by other people who just want to know how high, the idea for the 3" is you have a spring that can carry more weight, but if you don't have that weight it will sit higher. If you want a true 2,3,5 you need to go with someone like rovertym.
