Default Ironman springs/shocks/ medium duty TF

Want to do a 2" lift on my new disco. OE spings saggy, and shocks soft. Plan to get a more aggressive tire BUT not planning to go over 31.5" diameter

my first choice for on road DD:
Amazon Amazon

Anyone use these? I already have heavy duty TF springs n shocks on my black D2, and way to firm for DD road.....


Anyone use ironman springs (progressive)? Thoughts?

not sure this kit is still available anyway....looks like D1 springs....

Did you end up going with Ironman? Kind of looking at them myself.

My order description is below but I don't see the part number on their website anymore. Lift/carrying capacity is far better than the 200,000+ mile stock stuff that was on it. If I recall I got like 3in out of a 1.5in kit, if that helps lol.

Foam Cell 1.5" Suspension Kit - Performance Load (0-660LBS) Suited For Land Rover Discovery 2 LAND014BKF

Good to know, I wouldn't get into my garage anymore. 2" is the limit. I will likely sort to the OME, given that they don't lift more than that.

I'm just saying I think my old stuff was well shot.. I can post some hub/fender measurements to compare to.

Thanks, that would be great. The Ironman set is very affordable, unfortunately I couldn't find any reviews.
