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?

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.
