So a little background. Bought a new to me 95 Disco a few months ago. Previous owner said it had 4" of lift. Mistake 1 was listening/believing without measuring. The undercarriage had some rust so I was going in a cleaning it up and found the rear springs were rusted etc. So to make a long story short, I bought lucky 8 4.5" springs and Terrafirma 5" travel shocks, brake lines, and TW double cardan shafts for front and rear.
As I was putting everything on I realized the front right brake caliper was seized up, so I replaced both front calipers. Rotors were fine.
The 4.5" took me well above where the truck was before, the previous lift was more like 2.5-3.
So now I'm driving the truck for the first time yesterday and when I apply the brakes I get a thudding feeling from the rear and a vibration. I don't get any binding in the shafts when I spin by hand, but is it possible the rear shaft would bind when applying the brake? Thinking I need to sell these and get multi cardan shafts? It's too much lift, but it's where I stand and looking for a solution.
One more thing, has RTE trailing arms, and Terrafirma radius arms.
