Hi guys. Had my 90 a few months now and the wife has decided she would like it looking more stock. The question is what’s my set up worth, don’t know much about it but photos attached. Its a 2 inch lift. Looking to possibly to sell in the future wheels tyres and suspension. Not selling yet just trying to work out what my options are. I’m guessing most you guys will know more than me when it comes to aftermarket kit, pictures attached, Hopefully the cost will pay for the change as limited budget as always. Thanks for any advice received.
Going back to stock.

You can buy a 2" lift kit for under 300 quid guesstimate 150 quid 2nd hand.
Tyres depends on what they are 300 quid on them rims worth more desirable if they were modulars.

Used suspension lift kits are quite common on eBay and FB marketplace. Prices seem to vary between £50-200 depending on manufacturer, condition and previous use. It probably won’t pay for a complete swap back to a new standard set-up but it’ll pay towards it. Selling the wheels and tyres will also help, which could be replaced with a decent set of 235/85R16 AT tyres on some decent rims, but that’s also an additional expense.

Tell the mrs how much it will cost to put back to stock,she may then be happier to leave it the way it is.(next she may want it painted & a nice interior
)
Not a lot of money will be recouped for the old/used items removed.

Lets look at what the 'lift kit' comprises ...
Longer front and back springs (Britpart by the colour)
Longer front flex brake lines (?)
Longer rear flex brake line (?)
Longer travel shocks .... (possibly)
The only thing that needs to change from that list is the (yellow) springs. ... a new standard set (front and back) will cost you around £120, there are plenty of resellers, look on eBay.
There are several (pre-owned) sets on eBay at the moment that will be just fine, some look as-new, for half that price.
You shouldn't need new fittings/turrets etc and these will have been fitted with the new springs and are the same for any size of spring.
You don't 'need' new shocks, but if you wanted to fit new ones then they are around £90 for the 4 (ie £200 for a set of springs and shocks)
The brake lines are (new) under £30 a set (+ 2" are £40) - there is really no need to change them.
Wheels and tyres.
The wheels will be fine, less aggressive tyres will cost you anything from £90 to £170 a corner, you could get a pre-owned set of boost alloys (like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134253096108) for around the £300 mark.
Steel wheels are around £70 each (new) - there are a few sets with tyres on the Bay of E, here's a set for £475 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175378310462

You and your wife will likely enjoy a nicer ride with the standard springs.
Definitely. I put a two inch lift on my old disco 1 but it put me off doing it to any subsequent landies I’ve had. It added a bit more articulation off road but given that 95% of my driving was on road, it wasn’t worth it for the wallowing that it also brought.

The jubilee clip spring retainer must be worth £1
Wow thanks for all your replies and the detailed breakdown miktdish. So new springs first on the list and may just change tyres. Do you think I’ll get away with the same wheel tyre combo on stock springs in the short term? And jubilee clip has to be £1.50 these days.
