Default Disco 1 Lift Kit in a Disco 2

It looks like I may be putting my Disco 1 out to pasture (still undecided but leaning over the fence on this one) as I have 2 2004 Disco 2s as well. My disco 1 is completely and only a trail rig not licensed or reg anymore. So my question is I have an Old Man Emu 2.5" Heavy Duty Suspension Lift in my Disco 1 with Bilstien shocks and I want to move it to my 04 Disco S7. Does anyone out there know if it will fit/ swap over?

The springs will fit, but you will have some "Carolina Squat" going on. The DII uses different shocks so you'll need to find some different ones.

As far as the springs DI front springs give +1 on a DII. So 2.5" on a DI will net 3.5" on a DII. The rear is fairly similar. So you'll need to run shorter springs in the front or spacers in the back.

Buddy Lee Thank You very much for your reply. That is awesome as I have a lot invested in the lift. Wit that kind of lift, in your opinion will I need to adjust slip yoke/ brake lines/ drive shaft etc.? Do you have a suggestion on shocks? Looks like I will be selling my Bilstiens to the first bidder
