The rear springs are the heavy spring rate 2" springs. TF027V. I cannot see the numbers on the front springs right now.

Yeah that makes sense, just HD 2" springs with 3" shocks. TF027V and TF052 for the front. It's what I have in my disco, it's a bit over 2" but definitely not a 3" lift.

Yeah. There rear of mine is certainly over 3 inches from where I started, the front is probably more like 2 or 2 1/2.... but I have a winch and a bull bar up front.

Right, but you had over 100k miles on your truck, the springs sag quite a bit after time.

So they say. Heck, even I've repeated that story before I checked it. I put the rear springs on my 99, and measured it. It was exactly where rave said it should be.

here are my numbers: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...e-54403/page2/

So according the measurements on my truck, I get 2" in front and 3" in back over stock... which is right in line with a 2" HD lift... because I'm loaded relatively heavy in front... and not at all in the back. Maybe when I get my bumper put on and any other armor I'll be only 2" lift in the back too.

Did you install the fronts upside down? Did you use D1 spring perches?

The fronts fit in the dent in the perch, if that's what you are asking, and the rears are using the stock perches, my 03 came with springs cause it's the cheap one. I also used the old, stock, worn-out isolators in the back. Which is dumb, because I had new ones in the coil conversion kit I bought for the 99. If I buy more bling and the rear sags too much, I'll think about D1 perches.... though I won't lie the springs were pretty tight to squeeze in there as it was.

Hmm.. I should measure mine. I know as a disclaimer Terrafirma notes, "If not loaded down with heavy gear you will net more than a 2" lift with the HD springs." not sure HOW much more of a lift.

I'm guessing.... an inch.

Though according to your signature, you are loaded down quite a bit more than I am, with sliders, roof rack, and an HD rear bumper.

Very true, the ARB bar is around 150lb, the sliders are around 60 or so lbs each, and the rear bumper is around 60 lbs. But I also don't have the large part of the middle seats in which weigh around 80lbs.
