Morning all,
Firstly let me say that i have done my research on the subject of lifting a disco to fit bigger wheels and have read through the numerous posts on pro's and con's of various options. As some of these threads are up to 3 years old, i would just like a bit of upto date guidance and help please.
My car is a standard v8 disco - 95 m reg.
I've just bought a set of Insa Turbo Dakars on disco es alloys. 265/75/16
Now my understanding to fit these to the car i need to cut part of the rear arch (camel cut) and adjust the steering stops at the front.
Now if i wanted some extra clearance in the arches and to stop wheel rub etc what is my best option without doing a full 2" lift. (too much hassle and expense tbh)
1. fit new standard springs and 2" spacer blocks
2. fit new 50mm lift springs only
3. extended bump stops
4. or standard springs , spacers and new bump stops.
I'm not looking at making some serious offroader so don't want a full lift and all the extra bits that go with it so just looking at the other options available.
thanks for any help you can give me,
Carl
