I did not notice any length differences in the fj80 coils.

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market Got a matching set off of one truck for 25 a spring and 25 shipping from Montana to SC. 2" for $75 is one hell of a deal in my book.

Mine are off a 93 FJ80. I will check mine after work and let u know if there different lengths. Can't be by much if any.....just by looking at them in the box.

Awesome, i appreciate that guys! I have a head gasket job in the near future for my disco and im thinking i might just "sneak in the 2" lift while im doing all the other work". It's so cheap in the scheme of what im spending on the head job, im hoping she wont notice
So i'll definitely wait to hear back, but as long as you guys are saying they swap right in and pretty much lok uniform, i'm sure they will be. Finally, this is an ok thing to do without fooling with the shocks or is it recommended that i get myself soem new shocks as well? Thanks for all the answers.

No need for new shocks for 2" of lift.

Awesome. Just sourced a pair in deleware I'll probably pick up Saturday. Pretty excited. You guys think $75 for a pair is too much money? I'm picking them up so no shipping.

so are the springs from the FJ80 for the rear only? I mean what are you all using to replace the front springs on the Disco?
