I'm new to the forum for my 16th b-day i got a 1999 Discovery 2. I am want to lift it and put some new tires and rims. I was wondering if i have to change the shafts if i do a 2 inch ome lift and a 1 inch coil spacer, and also wat is the max size tires i can fit on it with that lift. I would be willing to trim the bumper up, and were can i find rims to fit my truck.
Thanks

 

anyone know

 

No need for longer driveshafts. You can fit a 265/75r16 (32") with no problems, except for some front bumper trimming. That's a good year discovery. Make sure you do all the required maintenance before you start off roading!

Wait a sec.. Do you plan on putting on 1" spacers on just the rear or all 4 corners? I wouldn't put on any spacers. The HD OME lift kit is a great lift by itself.

Also, you may want to search here and landroversonly.com some. There is tons of info on lifts and tires.

 

I agree with Jupiter, I'd just go with the OME lift and ignore the spacers. Even stock your Disco will be pulling your buddies Jeeps on 33"s out of the mud, I know from experience

 

jeeps... LoL

 

If you want a 3" lift go with Rovertym Engineering 3" springs. It will be cheaper to go with the right springs the first time than messing around with shorter springs and spacers. I agree that the OME lift is great by itself, I run the HD lift, but since you obviously want more lift go with RTE.

What are you planning to use the truck for? Have you completed the 60K service list that is stickied at the top of the forum? That needs to be done before you start worrying about lifts and tires. You also need to make sure your front driveshaft has been rebuilt with greaseable u-joints in the double cardan joint right next to the transmission.

 

x2 on everything. Service it 1st then add toys.

 

It has 95,000 i and would would use it for roading and driving to school and around town. but i will try to get all the service records thanks for your info. But can i do a rte 3 lift without new shafts. and with a 2 inch ome lift can i fit 32x11.50.16

 

Yes and Yes. Keep in mind RTE 3" costs roughly $1300.00 where as the OME costs $600.00.

I would get the OME. Do you want a mild lift? or a more extreme lift?

 

The shafts should be okay, just make sure the front shaft gets rebuilt before it puts a hole in the side of your transmission. Yes 32-11.5-16 should be no problem after trimming the front bumper, one of the guys on here was running 34-11.5-16 Super Swamper LTB's.
