Default Lift with the most Articulation

I have a 1996 Discovery. I want to get the most Articulation out of my vehicle as possible. What combination of shocks and springs will give me the most travel. Are there any bump stops out there smaller than the stock ones? Will using longer shocks and Brake lines increase my Articulation? What other problems might occur when Flexing too much? What are the problems that can occur when you take off the stableizer bars? This vehicle will be used Off-Road Mainly to and from trail sometimes to town and sometimes on Camping trips. I've seen the OME products and would like to use them, they are in my price range. I have about $1500 to $2000 to spend on Springs , Shocks, Stering Stabalizer, I will probably replace all brakes, maybe rotors(if cannot be turned), bearings, and anything else that has to do with the drive system. I know I need new bearings because I can here them Groaning when turning(Had similar problem in my Ranger before the Rover). So when I change them I might as well change out what I will have to remove to get bearings changed. Just for my peace of mind, I usually have my 2 year old with me so I need reliablility. I would like to here from anyone that has done the lifts and fixed or changed out the componets of the front end.

What you are wanting to do will cost you $thousands, go on the web site of Sarari Guard and do some reading. You will also need tires probably axles, lockers, 2 new drive lines, brake lines, new bushings plus for that sort of body straining you need to go thru the truck and make it new or you won't last long off road.
What sort of wheeling are you planning on doing?
I think you are thinking too big, how much of a lift are you wanting to do?

I like my OME, the ride is great.
Just get the 2' longer brake lines and 2' lift and see if you need more.
My bet is that it will keep you happy for a long time, or until you
save more money.
