Sorry if this has been covered before, I searched the archives but didn�t find anything.

Last year I got my 96 disco used with the LR wraparound brush guard on front, and no winch.

The 235/75 16 needed replaced and looked very small so I put some 245/75 16 on. I only needed to adj. the steering stops.

I put Bilstiens on last fall, and am looking for some more stability on the country roads.

I am now going to replace the springs and am leaning towards the MD OME all around.

My wife is the primary driver of the truck, I only get to drive it on the weekends so it�s used 20% on the highway, 70% country roads and 10% off road. With very little gear if any.

Since I got the truck used I�m not sure what springs are on now, so I was wondering if anybody has this setup on theirs?

Will I need to do any trimming at the rear?

Is this a decent setup for what I�m looking for?

Thanks

I do mostly towing in my 95 disco, not much offroading here is Florida. John at RoverTym is working on Heavy Duty Springs with keeping stock height (4-6 weeks) Personally, I would wait for this setup. His products have received great feed back from fellow discowebers. Some people experience drive train vibration with lifts, and might have to convert to U-joints.

Are you sure you have 245 75/16's? Everyone says they would rub on a stock truck. If so that's cool because I'm looking at new tires soon. What brand to you have? I'd love to get into those if I could. Otherwise I'm looking at 245 70's. Let me know.
Thanks in advance.

in talking to arb themselves, the only rovers with vibration were the first of the series 2 with the ealy 40mm lift. from what i have been told the light and mediums are just fine.

Yes I definitely have 245 75/16's Pirelli Scorpion A/T�s.

From what I�ve read on this board it seams there is a need for some trimming when running these tires at stock height. I didn�t need to do any trimming so I assume that the springs aren�t stock.

Last night I measured from center of wheel to fender lip and got aprox. 19.5� front and 21.5� rear.

Does anybody out there know aprox. what these dimensions will be with OME MD?

I�d like to avoid any trimming if possible.

Thanks
