All,
I want to source a high quality OEM+ spring/shock combination for a '96 D1 which sees offroad use, but requires extensive highway driving on trips. Think Camel Trophy truck ride height as a good approximation. The truck will carry a front ARB/winch combination (synthetic line), a rear steel bumper, and be loaded with between 100-600lbs of people/gear. I want a near stock-ish ride height with good ride control and the ability to run 245/75r16 or potentially 7.50r16 tires. Ideally, I want 0" to no more than 1" of lift to preserve the stock suspension geometries, access to my/public garages, and reduce the vehicle's center of gravity. My truck already has a camel cut in the rear.
I see some interesting offerings from the KING Springs in the Coil spring database but have no experience with their products. Also interested in opinions on matching dampening from the Shock database.
How would you build an OEM+ lift kit for your Discovery 1?
