What are they? I've heard Rotoflex does not take well to suspension lifts, and I'll be replacing stock spring/shocks with OME's this weekend on the 2001 Disco. Advertised as only 1.6 inch lift, is this enough to worry about as far as the Rotoflex is concerned?

Thanks for your help...

John,

The DII seems to handle lifts better than the DI, I would think you would be fine if you are only adding 1.6 inches.

I have a 3" lift on my 2001 DII without vibes or other problems (knock on wood) and I know several other that have 2 - 3 inch lifts on DII's without problems.

YMMV FWIW

Dave, any problems with castor? I have 2" spacers now but would like to add 1" more.

came back with the D2s, so that there is no vibrations in the drivetrain that would make the soccor moms complain. By the way is there a conversion kit for the D2s, I have heard that AB has one?

ouch

my first rotoflex expired at ~60k, about 10k after i put OME HD springs in D1. I'm on the roto #3 now, at 127kmi.
they work okay, but die quickly with the lift.
