I think you'll be happier in the end with the Pro Sport +2" shocks, but that is a good price. Maybe they'll let you upgrade to the Pro Sport for the difference(~$80) or less. Atlantic British is pretty good about working with you to get you what you want/need. The worst they can do is say NO.

On my first Disco, I was running the OME kit and had Pirelli Skorpion tires 255/70/16 on the stock rims. It was pretty much set up for touring and light trails. It drove and handled really nice, close to stock. No need to change any gearing or cut any fenders....

For a cheaper alternative...those M/T Dakota tires from Pepboys are pretty reasonable priced....

For daily use and offroad, those Cooper Zeon LTZ look pretty good too. A guy that lives near me has them on an LR3. I really like the look of that A/T....

Or just get the best A/T out there....Pirelli Skorpion STR....toughest A/T.

Hmm...the more I obsess, er research online, the 245/75/16 looks like a better fit for a 2-inch lift. The 235/85/16 looks huge.

Anyhoo...looking forward to some pics from ValveCoverGasket. I'm looking at pulling the $$ trigger in the next month.
