I've heard on the Discoweb boards you can use rear springs on a DI and add 2in pucks to the rear to get a 2in overall lift. Is this true? Anyone used this combination?

You can take the rear springs on a D1 and put them on the front, but it would be best to get new springs for the rear. Keep in mind that if you do then that if you add much weight to the front it will still sag because they will be worn out.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm not planning on loading up the front with a bumper or anything, just trying to buy time until I can afford proper springs.

In that case find a set of used rear springs. Unfortunately I tossed mine years ago.

Have you considered our 2" Lift Spacers as an affordable alternative:
2" Lift Spacers. Easy to install, for that DIY person. No special tools are required. Fits between axle and spring plate. Set of 2 front, 2 rear. Does not fit Discovery II's:

The front and rear springs and Disco, RRC and 90 are all interchangeable. The rear springs on 110 are bigger and won't fit. However...the difference is the lb/ft rating. The tallest spring doesn't always make the car sit higher. If it's not stiff enough then it will sink. The stiff short spring will make it sit higher.
I have mixed feelings about the spacers. They have potential to move. THe best way to do it is with +2" springs.
And will you change the dampers? They will bottom out and fail if you don't change them for longer versions.
Thanks for the info, Mike. I am a little worried about the old stock springs and the driving quality that will result by lifting the CG another 2in. I think the stiffer rear springs in the front with 2in spacers in the rear would be fine though.Originally Posted by Mike Koch

That's good info. I'll change the shocks when I do it. That should control sway and make the ride a little better.Originally Posted by spacemutt

So does this mean I could just buy the Genuine 90 springs for my DI?Originally Posted by spacemutt

How much lift would that give me?? I'd like to fit 215/85's (30in) or somewhere around there. My shocks are original, so they are old and worn.

Nevermind, I found the DI HD Genuine Springs. Still would be interested if anyone runs these how they hold up/lift they provide. Thanks.Originally Posted by BDM
