I have a 96 D1 with 245/75/16s, bilstein shocks and an ARB bullbar with winch. I was under the impression when I bought it that it was lifted about 2" through the springs. I recently met someone who knew the truck before me and they don't think the previous owner put HD springs on it. Is there a way of measuring it so I know. I don't know what stock height is vs. what I have and I'm interested in putting 235/85/16 tires on, but without a lift, that won't fly. thanks, jeff. | ||

I'm guessing you'd be riding pretty low in the front on the stock springs with the ARB and winch. From what I heard, OME 751's will lift 1.5-2" on Rover and sag that amount when a bumper and winch are added (FWIW, the 751's give me about 2"). | ||

i bet it is lifted, do a measurement, the top of the fender arch to the center cap. Do the front and back, but mainly look at the back because it isn't weighted down by the ARB / winch. then go to www.discoweb.org/lift.htm and look at the stock vs. ome lifted and see where you range. | ||

Springs are yellow? I've had two OME lifted trucks, and both times the springs have been black. Both sets of shocks were yellow, though. | ||

I've yet to see yellow OME springs... | ||

Stock Disco 1 is 18" from center of fender lip to center of hub. 2" lift measurement will be 20" and so on. Ron Ward | ||

I guess I was thinking of the shocks. my apologies. | ||
| Jeffry Scott (Jeffry) Member Username: Jeffry Post Number: 75 Registered: 12-2002 |
Finally measured, I have between 19.5 and 20 inches between center of wheel and fender on three corners, one (right rear) is an even 19. So, I guess it is lifted a bit, but the next question is will this allow sufficient clearance for 235/85/16s? (I'd use Kyle's method (can someone point me to the article, I don't see it under tech) to relocate the back fender.) thanks, jeff | ||

found the fender relocation article. Question still stands, will the 235s fit with the above measurements? (I'll do a search, but in case someone knows off the top of their head I thought I'd throw it out), thanks, jeff | ||

Yep, they'll fit. Mine was measuring 18-18.5 on one side and 19-19.5 on the other due to sagging springs and I was just fine. After replacing all the springs, and adding a heavy bumper, the front now sits right about 19 on both sides, the rear is right around 20 on both sides. Just do it! | ||

if they don't fit, hell, it will be time for some new springs. My wife hates this car ... |
