Considering that she gets great mpg now it will only be a minor hit. Sluggish is ok.

ZGphoto has my same lift, he would be a good one to search for posts on and read up. DiscoP all I did was change the brake lines. Lift was really easy to put in, I did not even remove the brake caliper, just un hooked the speed sensor. Brake lines are really need in the rear. The whole lift is about preference just like women...
Oh I get you now. Sorry my mistake haha

Correct. That's about as big as you can go with that size lift without trimming anything. Also if you go any bigger you're going to have issues with power loss and MPG loss, as well as stressing the axles a great deal more. So unless you want to sink more money into strengthening axles and regearing to recover power, a 32" tire is about as big as you'd want. And with the off road capabilities of the Disco II, that's all you'd need. With my DII with a 2" lift and 30.5" tires, I can go just about anywhere my friends with Jeeps and big pickups on 35-37" tires can go. I just need to pick a slightly different line.

I would suggest the HD springs for the front. Especially if you're planning to put a bumper or winch or something on it. And even if you're not. The HD front springs will lift the front and won't sag, and they ride awesome. I'm not sure about rear springs, as I have SLS in the back. I've heard many people say they went with medium duty in the back to keep the ride comfortable. The HD rear is only really for expedition vehicles that are constantly loaded. The MD springs are for your everyday vehicles.

Keep in mind it's only a 3" if you're not loaded down with stuff, it was designed to be a 2" lift after fitted with expedition equipment, which is why AG is around 2" in the front with his ARB bar!

ZG did the HD rear and sliders even it all out? I may wait to add the front spacers till the rest is on.

Considering the TF kit also. This is mostly a street vehicle so no bumpers being replaced, maybe a hidden winch and that's a big maybe.

Yeah man, I measured it in a lift bay at 21" and 21"! I couldn't believe it was literally the exact same down to the inch.
