I'm wondering if the 2" springs would be 2" lift with bumper, winch, skid plates, and RT sliders or would they be a little less like 1 1/2" due to all the extra weight. I remember seeing some where that the two inches would be with all the weight but, is that correct?

The lift is supposed to be 2" AFTER all the goodies - bumper, winch, skid plates and sliders. It is supposed to be roughly 2 1/2" without ... I will confirm next weekend :)

Cool... Looking at just getting the springs and OME shocks (using stock mounts) for now. Just to hold up the bumper, winch and such. Want to upgrade axle, diffs, and gears before I really get crazy with suspension.

I have the RT 2in springs My 97 Disco has a ARB bumper, Warn winch, RT sliders,AB steel skid plate, $G Dif guards and the lift seems a little shy of 2in .

Scott,

Do you have the factory rear bumper on still? If so, does the truck sit fairly level?

Take off the dif guards and you should get 2"

Two inch springs here with no goodies. You actually get more like 2.5 without added weight. Been using them for a while with some heavy off-roading and no apparent wear. I'm using Rancho 9000 up front and stayed with stock rear for now. Get them!

Murray my truck has the stock rear bumper and it does sit higher in the rear about a inch. The rear measures 21in from the centerline of the wheel to the fender lip the front measures 20 in at the same location. hope this helps

JK, how would taking off the Diff gards that are attached to the axle which isn't even adding weight to the springs going to give you any extra height? What are they making the tires compress more. Could just add some air to them.

I think he was just joking because Scott said he was shy under 2"
