Ordered lift spacer, now springs?
 

I ordered this lift spacer, and now I want to do a 2"-3" spring lift with an Old Man EMU kit or Rovertym kit. Is this going to be ok, or will I need to do some other type of work? Thanks in advance for any advice, Im new to this site, and have searched the forums.

Here is the spacer set I ordered.

Why are you doing a lift, how much of total lift are you looking for, what sort of trilas are you running? What year and model are you driving?

I was also thinking about getting the RR4 and RR3 3" lift springs from here:

Im doing a lift because I have big tires on it (31" in diameter) here is a few pics:

It scrapes when going over large bumps in the road now. I already pulled the bumper out 2 inches for clearance, and I just like the look/stance of a raised truck. The 2" lift with the 3" springs would produce a good looking 5"... if possible.

It is a 1996 Land Rover Discovery Series I.

31" tires like a 245/75/16 won't rub with a 2" lift on a D1, throw those body lifts on and you are going to be top heavy and nee3d to replace both drive lines to correct the drive shaft angles.
Stay with a good 2" OME lift and you'll love it.
If you want help on getting a good price on the OME's get back to me.

So its not safe to do the 2" spacer lift and then the spring lift?

I wouldn't put it in the unsafe catagory, it just raises your overall height and does effect the center of gravity, I wouldn't do it especially when some new coils and shocks will do everything you want and give you such a better ride.

if you lift it 5", those "big" tires of yours will look small
