Default lift kit

I have a 96 se7 V8 disco, has a 2" suspension lift. I'd like to do a 2 " body lift also. I found the blocks to suit, what else do I need to complete this, extended brake lines I know I'll need , but is there anything else. And is it still legal to dive on road?? Any advise welcome.

You'll want to fashion some brackets to bring up bumpers...or maybe you can buy some. Not sure where to buy
I'm sure it is legal

Why do you want a body lift? You can run 35's on a D1 without a body lift.

Body lift will let you fit bigger tires without changing suspension geometry. I don't know why they get such a bad reputation.

Thanks mate. I hadn't thought of bar heights.

I don't personally like body lifts. But If you are going to do it for a 2" body lift, to do it right you'll need extensions for the rear seat belt mounts, the diff lock shifter, radiator suports, steering linkage and probably a few other items. As well as the already mentioned bumpers.

You can probably make due without some of these items but you'll need to do something to accommodate those items. I think I do have some 3" extensions for the radiator and Diff lock laying around someplace from a truck I scrapped.
