Lift Installed
Got the TerraFirma lift installed this weekend. Between the tires and lift got a total of 4 inches from stock. Such a huge differance in the ride and feel of the old girl! Gotta say the hardest part was getting the old shocks off. Another downfall of all the time I spent under the Rover was all the other stuff that I found that needs attention. Gotta love it!
TerraFirma
2" light Coils in front(actually got 2.5")
2" med coils in rear(actually got 3")
All Terrain shocks
245/75R16 Bridgestone Dueler RVT

1, PB Blaster! If I had it to do over I would have started a few days ahead of time. I know some of the guys on here have had a hard time getting the upper shock mount of the front shocks. I took a pair of heavy duty scissors and cut enough of the plastic out from the top section to get a pipe wrench in to hold the shaft while I removed the nut. Worked good for me. Honestly it was pretty simple and straight forward but, it takes awhile if your working by yourself in a small garage.
2. Keep the in-laws away. Geez....They seen it all and done it all and can't understand why you'd want to do that to your car!

I used this tutorial when I did my OME lift. It was very helpful and it took me a weekend to do it by myself.

My front end has always been a bit lower than the rear, but I think that is the normal stance for a Disco.

Lift looks good, but you need bigger tires.

Remove the front lower shock nut. Remove the four shock tower retaining nuts. Pull the entire shock tower with shock still in it out through the engine bay. Then you can work on it on your bench or whatever. Install is the reverse. Easy peasy.
