I'm very interested in adding a 3" suspension lift to my 04 Disco, and I was hoping to go with OME brand.... this will be my first time "purchasing and installing" a lift kit so I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at. I found this complete kit on AB but there's not mention of it being a "lift" Shock & Spring Suspension Kit - Medium Duty - Front & Rear - Nitrocharger Sport - Old Man Emu / ARB - Land Rover kits from Atlantic British

Again I'm interested in OME brand, I've tried TerraFirma medium duty 2" lift in the past but I'm looking for something of high more reknown quality and appeal. I've heard a lot of good about OME and I love the style/color scheme. Could not find anything regarding a OME 3" lift on Google, so can you guys help me out and point me in the right direction? And exactly what is the kit above if not a lift? Is it merely a replacement of the stock shooks and coils?

 

The OME 3" is a great lift but a little firm in the rear.
Are you running a winch and bumpers?
The OME would require 751 front springs along with 763 rears, but I would not suggest them unless your running with a lot of extra weight.
If you have any questions, PM me your number and we can talk lifts.

 

Currently just a A-frame brush bar and rear ladder, but I plan on adding a full length safari roof rack complete with emergency gear, 6 additional hella lights etc. I'd like to do some moderate off-road camping this coming year and the truck will be loaded so I want to be prepared with strong suspension.

I do have a few questions about towing limits in conjunction with suspension, could we chat over the phone this weekend?

 

Sure, PM me your number and tell me which day is best to call you.

 

I thought there was only a 2 inch lift for the Disco II from OME. I was checking a source Land Rover Discovery OME lifts, suspension, accessories

I just noticed I made my 5 posts yuu hoo i can get more access to stuff and learn more

 

Using coils from a D1 on your D2 will give you 3"s, may be a little firm unless loaded down.

 

Now that's a good piece of info. You mentioned unloaded rides firm. what if you have the usual mods such as the complete safari look on Disco II. do you lose the lift? or ride becomes more compliant. Sorry newb question but only recently entered the Disco II ranks.

 

You won't loose that lift with all the add ons.

 

Very cool thanks Disco Mike. I think this is going a great forum for me to learn from. Will I be using the D1 shocks to on my DII since there is an extra inch of lift

 

get the 3" RTE springs and a set of fox emulsion shocks.
