suspension lift - spacers ?

[stinka]

Can you get a 1 inch spacer for the rear springs ? I fancy +2" rear shockers and I think these would probably work well with a 1 inch lift achieved with spacers. It would be cheaper than buying 2" longer springs and stop the springs from dislocating, allow for more axle articulation and I think when combined with 2" body lift, 3" overall would suit me fine.

So what would do to make up the inch spacers and how would you fix them ?

Cheers

Perhaps one of these kits would fit ?

Also struggling to find a supplier of +2" rear shocks

pete (makeitfit) had +2" shocks for sale, No idea if he has anymore

Think the only landrover part to give spring lift is landrover dislocation cones.

google says these might have them :

Rough Country or Pro Comp for the rear with Mk1 Disco rear dislocation cones, you do have to grind the 4 sides of the cone to accept our smaller diameter springs. As far as I know, Tommo & myself are the only 2 that have done it on here. :thumbs

And how do they attach, bolt through chassis ?

Seems simple enough :thumb2

Bolt into the top cup, hole's already there

So these, with longer shocks and a 2" body lift would see me right ?

Perhaps lose the ARB if its restricting the articulation ?

 

[Adz]

Yep :thumbs there the kidyz :thumbs just have to grind the "v" edge off to allow our springs over them :thumbs

 

[stinka]

You running standard springs in pics above ?

that is seriously impressive btw

That was the Frog ( R.I.P. )

Rear anti roll bar removed

+2" Rough Country shocks :sly

Disco 1 dislocation cones :sly:naughty

bump stops left on due to the amount of articulation to stop them banging the arches :augie

Also, Just found these :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330633591352

Would get the 1" lift and probably stop springs dislocating with +2" shocks ??

Nope, not safe in my opinion :nono
