Default Old Man Emu lift kit problem

Hey everyone....

I just put on an OME 2"inch spring kit with shocks.

Problem is: now my Rover looks like a dragster; low in the front, high in the back?

Question: does the Rover have a "stock" spacer below the front springs?

I ordered the OME Medium duty kit from Atlantic British

I put the 777's in the front, the 781's in the rear. but it looks lower in front (no aftermarket bumper or winch).

Looks normal. You are running a 180 lb/in front, and a 290 ld/in Rear. The rear are designed to help the truck carry extra weight.

Go fill you tank up, put a dead body or 2 in the back... the rear will come down.

Or the tires have to get bigger.

What is the distance from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel arch?

19" is stock. +2 = 21. I got 21.5 with the same setup, but I have 16's and stock tires with nearly 90k on them.
