Contact Jeg's or Summit for extended lines. I prefer Jegs since they're considered local to me lol
You should look to target +150MM (6inch) extended length to cover anything crazy you might want to accomplish.
That's what I run. (In a bind, you can use +50mm extended front's in the rear lol found that out by accident)
But I now have a set of +50mm extended BritPart rears if anyone needs them

my only drawback is I'm converting my rear back to air ride since my wife and some like to play too and I do tow for tailgating

Well, today is getting it insured, registered and tagged. But yesterday, I did fluids, cleaned it, tire pressure (spare was totally flat), checked the plugs, got some tie down straps for the rack (came with a safari rack)...
I just bought a 2003 Discovery II. It's in real good shape. No exhaust leaks. Has Christmas lights on the dash. Interior is in great condition. I got a great deal, that's for sure. I just need to now get it to running optimally instead of "just running". Previous owner replaced the motor las t summer after she bought it. I have no clue how many miles are on it. Odometer flashes, she said she realized when she got the car fax, someone had tampered with the odometer.
Howerever, I love it and it's my first Land Rover. Glad to find this forum.

I think so. But I have no definite proof that it works. But its a very strong magnet and you wont be able to get it out from the filter easily. I only assume based on the principle how it was designed, to catch metal filings and trap them within the filter before it make more damage. I had the same magnet for 13 years. I had a compression test one time on the same 13 year old disco when it started to tick. The compression is still high along all cylinders after the HG job i did few month ago. The test was made by an LR shop near by and I paid 175 for that. He mentioned that the original engine still strong. I even asked if he can give me an estimated lifetime of the engine. I asked if it can still run for another 30-40k miles, he mentioned that, if I do the regular maintenance, it can still go way beyond 100k miles. Well, that was based on his opinion and experience and I respect those opinions who know these trucks more than me. I was thinking that there must be very minimal grinding or sanding within the engine when those metal particles get trapped in the filter. Cheers!

Terrafirma rock sliders installed. I was so happy that all the bolt holes lined up... definitely a first for Terrafirma. They were out of stock on lrdirect.com for about 6 weeks, so maybe when they went back into production they fixed some QA issues?
Also routed a trailer cable to the roof, and a common ground bus bar. The idea is that instead of drilling new holes and grommets for every accessory I add, I already have some wires ready to go. For now I just have rack mounted flood lights operated by the rear fog switch, reverse gear, and/or a switch in the back.
I also wired up 5 cruise control switches into the dash instrument bezel. Common ground, common dash light, common power, and 5 switched leads coming out ready to go. Next I will be making a relay panel to mount into the engine bay. I picked up a small paint brush and white enamel paint that I'll use to label them
And a work in progress, Viair dual 400C 2 gallon onboard air system.
