Default I Bought A Christmas Present For My Fiance Need Help Did I Buy The Right Part

I ordered a little kit today to lift our Land Rover Discovery 1. My Fiance had talked about this lift brackets that they sell on RoversNorth. I think I found them but I am worried that maybe I did not order him the right part. He wants to lift it two inches and then install bigger tires. Here is what I ordered. 2 inch lift spacer for coil springs suspension set of four. Did I orde the right part? Here is the link to what I ordered for him. Rovers North, Classic Land Rover Parts - Product Listing
Please let me know as I tried super hard and I thought that I did buy the right thing but after some thought I may feel like I may have bought him the wrong part and I would not want him to open up a Christmas Present that he can not use. Thanks so much!!!!

That's odd. He bought you something from Victoria's Secret that you might not like either.... I'm sure that Prince Charming is such a gentleman you'll never know anything but joy and admiration from the gift. If Rover's North told you it was the part, then it will most likely fit.

It does say on RoversNorth that it does fit our Land Rover I was mainly concerned if it was actually all that he needs to lift it two inches as he has been wanting. We drive it as a daily driver and he has had his heart set on a set of tread wright (not sure if I am completely correct on the name) but they are the tires that are retreaded and he wants to go a little bit bigger on the tires and he LOVES the way the two inch lift looks and with the new tires. It looks to be the right part. I did not want to buy like half of what he needs to do the lift and then get him all excited and be let down if he does need another part. I also bought him some other items for our Land Rover but I am a little worried that he may come on the forum and then everything would not be a surprise to him. Right now he does know one item but the lift he does not know about as I had acted like I was so confused about buying it (which I totally am honestly) and then he had said that it was not needed because he'll wait until we buy the new tread wrights tires. I wanted to check with him before ordering the parts but I honestly did not want him to know I wanted him to be completely surprised when he opens them. We'll see on Christmas Day how smart or dumb I am without any knowledge about the parts. By the way he is s10lowrider thought you guys might get a kick out of that. He has promised me to not look on here.

It sort of depends on how he wants to lift it.

I'm honestly not sure how he wants to lift it. He said he saw and heard about a two inch lift and he said you do not change anything that you just add the brackets as he had called them. The only thing that concerns me is that he had found something for like fifty dollars and then he asked for it for Christmas and I asked him to save the website as a favorite and he looked at them again and he said nevernind you need the four piece set and that costs a hundred dollars. I did buy the four piece set. They were shipped to me today not actually to me but shipped from the company today. I hope I bought the right thing for him. The other items for the Land River he thinks hesgetting but this would be a total surprise to him.

Oh i see. Well that is one way to lift it. And if that's what he wants what you bought sounds about right.
