Default Discovery "do it yourself" lifting

Is there any easy way to make a lifting kit by my self? I have seen several pictures in Internet taken from 2" lifted Discos and the spacers look very, very simple. Anyone here has a link to a diagram to make my own spacers?

Thanks for your help.

You don't use spacers as your primary lift. No since taking your Disco tired coils and throwing spacers under them all you get is a top heavy vehicle that will sway badily off road and on turns.
The only true lift is to replace your shocks and coils.

Mike is right, the best way is to replace the coils and also get longer shocks. The reason to lift a vehicle is to increase the off-road performance, doing it cheaply will just cause other problems. My recomendation is to save your money and do it right the first time, this will include coils, shocks, extended brake lines,longer sway bar links, tires, alignment and so forth. Also dont forget many parts will wear out faster when used off-road or lifted before they wouldnormally. Just my .02.
