I was going to say Mike's not a weirdo but definitely weird. Anybody that knows as much about Rover as he does and still loves them can't be right in the head.

 

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. I agree the longer shocks in the back are required. I'm not really a car guy, just love my Disco, but why would the front be OK with the 2inch lift springs, but the rear not right with the spacers? I figured it would be the same all around. I have the rear OME springs would I have the same problem if I put those on or are the spacers just a little too tall?

Mike,

You asked me to measure from the ground up through the hub to that black trim piece. I've got 35 1/2 inches in the back and 36 1/2 in the front. That's with the car off, and on a fairly level piece of pavement.

Thanks for your help on this. 1 inch seems significant, but I'm not sure how it's effecting my ride.

Brian

 

With those measurements, I would suggest you pul the rear up to the 36.5" level and see how that effects your ride. Good chance you are running to low on air pressure not too high. I run mine up to 36.25"s to stay level and it is not firm in the rear.
Let me know.

 

I will do that! Thanks! You're talking about air pressure in the airbags right?

Brian

 

Yes, by adjusting your height sensors.

 

Cool, yeah thanks. I've VERY familiar with those after putting the lift. Not hard to do it's just move, measure, move measure... Level ground helps too.

OK, I've got them level. I did a 50 mile offroad trail yesterday. The back end did seem better, still not a squishy as the front, but not too bad. At about 35 MPH on the trail EVERYTHING rattled. I'm pretty sure that's to be expected though. Now, I think I need to address shocks that are too short. When they extend fully I get a huge THUMP from the back end. That's probably for another thread though.

Thanks for your help!
