Is it any harder to lift disco than jeep or typical American truck.Would like to do myself and are kits more expensive.What size tires can you use with 3 inch lift,what inch bolt pattern on discovery,thanks

 

Disco 1 or 2?

2" lift, $900, 1" body lift... Apparently the cost of hockey pucks and bolts.

Good luck.

 

disco 1

 

Same as I noted above. It's not hard. You can go up to 32"/33" with a 3" lift. You might need to do some customization of you front bumper end caps.

 

More importantly, anything over 2" starts to bring driveshaft angle and camber issues into play.

 

Don't want to get into drive shaft issues,I'm guessing brake lines may be a problem too.How much to do a 2 inch lift,maybe just switch out coils.

 

If you do the couls you should do the shocks as well. OME kit at Atlantic Britsh is 800+. If you just do coils you might need to adjust your shock mounting points(shorter front shock towers and longer shock mounts in the rear).

 

Bolt pattern is 5 x 6.5. Not at lot of wheel alternatives. If you do a 2" lift you can run 245/75/16 without needed to do any trimming (rear especially). I know that's not a very big tire but you'd be surprised how far you can get with a 2" lift in these trucks.

 

Doing a 2" lift with coil springs and longer shocks is on my "to do" list. I'm also planning on changing the wheels to something like 15x8 Pro Comp steel wagon wheels, so I can run 31x10.50s.

So if I stay with 2", there shouldn't be any brake line, driveline angle, or rubbing issues with 31x10.50s?

 

Inches of lift = inches of stack of money.
