Hi Brian -

Where did you buy your Terra Firma 2" from and were they heavy or medium load springs? I recently put 265/75 16's A/T on my Disco II and there is a little rub (yikes).

P.S. Love all your photos and loved going through your post on all the incredible work you've done to Victoria. She's a beaut.

Most peeps get their stuff from either Lucky8 or Atlantic British typically. There are a few other vendors as well, but those seem to be the more prominent ones

Sorry about the lengthy wait for a reply...lost our internet for a week.

Actually bought the springs from British Atlantic on sale (already had the extended shocks). Went with medium all the way around, but shortly after loading up for a week long road trip...wished l'd have split the lift, med in front and heavy in the rear. It was not horrible by any means, but she did squat some.

I believe Lucky 8 is usually cheaper...but the sale price saved me a few dollars. And when you have three/four of these Dll's...a dollar here and a dollar there...add up...lol.

Thank you, for the compliments on Victoria. Granted, she has been retired and will live out the rest of her life supplying parts to her family members...and then she will be properly laid to rest.

​​​​​​​ Brian.

Haha, I can totally relate to losing internet! Thank you for your response. I had no idea Victoria croaked, I have not gotten that deep into the thread! Wow, this feels like getting to the end of a movie and your favorite character dies. Damn.

The info on the shocks is super helpful. I'm going to keep my eye on both sites for sales. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Hey - I think I can answer this question for you. I believe they're Flexi Flares. There is a YouTube video on how to install them on a DII:
