What year and model, are you still on the factory coils and shocks? Why are you wanting to use spacers instead of new coils?

 

dont get those. they supposidely dont fit at all. try either the toddco spacers which are 2" for $180 or the rovers north ones which are $99.

 

I have a '96 Disco with stock springs and shocks. My plan is to lift with spacers (less money than a spring lift)and replace the shocks at that time.

Is the concept behind the spacers soundor am I better off saving up for a spring lift.

 

your springs are old and tired. All you are going to do is raise you center of gravity and make it really wobbly. Check out OME kits. Spring/shock combos...

 

If you install those spacers on top of your old coils you will be so top heavt off the road, it will be tipsey on all the hard trails.
Save up your money and do it the right way. If after installing new coils and shocks, you still want more height then install some spacers.

 

Perfect Mike, that's the exact explanation thatI needed. Thank you,

 

I have a 97 Disco I with over 100,000 miles and the springs were starting to sag from hauling heavy loads over very rough roads. But daily driving was mostly empty so I did not want a higher spring rate. I opted for new stock springs from Rovers North and added a 1" spacer below the rear springs. I am very pleased with the setup. I have the stock ride (not toostiff)when the Disco is unloaded and at night (with heavy loads)oncoming drivers aren't flashing me their high beams.

That being said I am still interested in the OME springs for larger tires evetually(2" lift) and am interested in how much more noticeably harsh the ride will be.
