greetings,
1996 D1 / ARB bumper / Safari rack / snorkel / OME 2" lift / Michelin LT265/75/R16 119k miles
Tilting to passenger side
I'm guessing all of the above cept the tires was from the original owner (1996!!), and I'm starting to look into the suspension.
For the foreseeable future, I don't see off-roading. Cross-country drives with photo studio gear more likely. I'd say comfort's what I'm after.
How do I measure how much the springs have sagged over the years? I'm guessing I measure from center rim to top of wheel well,
but what's my baseline? I'm a total noob to all mechanical - just in love with my Disco.
For $$-reasons, I might just replace the shocks for now. I seem to either bounce off potholes, with shudder. Any issues with this piecemeal approach?
Considering my lightweight needs, can I do front shocks first?
I hope to get her up on a lift this week - so how do I identify what I have, so I'll know how to proceed.
With a clearer picture, I might just invest in some tools and rent a garage.
Thanks all.
