My dad and I are thinkin of trading in my moms RR and buy a 97' d-90 for me and she drives the LR3. What is a good suspension set-up for a daily driver that sees a good amount of trail use? I want to run 33's on it if we do get it , I was maybe thinkin a 3' RTE lift .

You can, with minimal rubbing (285/75). I'm going LR OEM HD next summer in an attempt to avoid driveline issues and not run anymore.

Easily, they come stock with 265/75-R16, which is oddly enough how you can get Sams/Costco to put that size on your Disco's wheels, take them LR wheels and tell them that they're going on a D-90, worked for me
OME or RTE 2" lift and 285's is a very good combo for a daily driving D90. You can do the 285s on the stock suspension but you will get some rubbing here and there. You'll get a little even with the lift and off-set wheels but not as much.
Its a very tested and solid combo for the D90s.

For everyday use and extensive trail use go for the OME 2" lift. This will give you ample room for 33" tires, not to mention superb road and trail manners. With OME you can't go wrong
I was just testing the flex on my OME, when my rear spring popped out of it seat. We pushed it back in and then we notices on flat road's it's sitting lopsided! What do I do? I'm going to order spring retainers or cones, but it wasn't sitting uneven before and these are brand new springs

Your springs may be handed. Specifically - some manufacturers make specific springs for a specific location. My HD OEM springs had to be installed as such. DS could not go on PS and vice versa.
I have heard that OME are handed and then also heard they are not.
EE retainers are the way to go.

it was my sway bar, I fixed it . But after i get my EE retainers installed i'm taking the damn things off in the rear.
the passeneger side mount to the axle was resting like it should be, but the driver side was completely flipped the other way causing it to push up on the suspension
ok, i see... i figured you bent it to shit or something...
put up some pics when you can. i always like drooling over a modified D-90.

You can't go wrong with OME springs and Bilstein shocks for a 2" lift. Be aware that some percentage of people who do this lift (including, apparently, me) experience vibration in the front driveshaft. The fix is to have the driveshaft rebuilt with a double cardon joint. I'm taking my front driveshaft into a driveline shop and getting it rebuilt this week. You can also buy one pre-modified from Great Basin Rovers when you get your springs and shocks.
Adding this lift will also slightly alter the front caster and your truck will steer somewhat squirrelly. This can be corrected with a bushing kit (also available from GBR). I was planning on buying this kit but I've since grown accustomed to the steering and it doesn't scare me anymore.
I went with 285/16-75 BFG Mud Terrains on NATO Wolf rims. If you choose these tires, spend the $10 to get them siped; they'll last longer and do a little better on slick surfaces.
