I don't know from personal experience. But I would guess you would get a better ride with some more spring compression.
You would have to add up the weight and take an educated estimate. I don't know how much extra weight it would take to make the front sag.
I know if I stand on the A bar it does not sag, well maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch... and I weigh 180.

I found this D2 with a 3” OME (trying to find out firmness) and fox shocks. tires are 255/85/16 KM2 (33.1x10”).

RTE/OME/TF/Fox + Lift Measurements
After coming across this post
https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...rements-56226/
and realizing that most TF medium and HD with +2 shocks had on average 21” measurements. If you have a 22” measurement even with basic/over-landing styled metal bumper and rear metal bumper let me know.
OME med and HD kits had 21” measurements some in the 20’s.
RTE had 22” with the exception of those with spacers or spring perch’s. RTE’s apparently require a rear spacer or perch to level. Some TF/OME mention use of one or the other as well. Would prefer to use neither.
If you have a recent RTE 3” how do you like it and which shocks did you pair it with?
If you have TF or OME with Fox shocks how do you like it and what are your measurements? And which Fox shocks are you using? I’ve heard some using non Rover Fox shocks for extended travel.
Of you have or had the TF 3” before or after another kit what did you like/dislike and would you buy it again. Please note medium or HD and +2 or +3 4 way shocks or other combo used.

2inch MD coils, OME or TF shocks, and 1inch aluminum spacer = gives you the height you want with a nice ride vs a 3inch HD spring. 275/65R18's on stock wheels do not rub with this setup. I do recommend removing the front frame crossbar under the front drive shaft if you plan on actually wheeling it as the drive shaft will hit it no question after a lift.
