Does doing a spring type lift void the Mfg warranty on a '03 Disco? Anyone done it and had Dealer issues? Am I worrying about nothing here?

Gary.

It will only void parts that are affected by the lift. Assume no more warrantly on ACE or SLS, possibly drive shafts and rotoflex, depending on amount of lift. I havn't had any problems with my 3" lift. Some dealers are better then others. Worst case scenario, they will put you on warranty hold, which simply means that a regional LR rep has to ok and warranty work.

The dealer by me (Paul Miller in Parsippany, NJ) told me that if I use "Land Rover" springs, the warranty would cover 100%. Then again...this would also leave you with fewer choices of lift.

I didn't know that Land Rover offered any lift options. Is a Land Rover lift a viable option, or is the aftermarket lifts the only way to go?

Paul Miller is great with covering warranty work with modified vehicles. I take mine to LR woodbridge. I have seen LR heavy duty springs advertised online. I dont think would give you any more then a 1" lift though. once you add a winch and a steel bumper, youll probably be back to your original height.

Land Rover has HD springs but I think the lift is only 1"-1 1/2". They come in a few different spring rates designated by colored stripes on the spring itself. Rovers North carries their springs.
