Replacement shocks and springs

Can anyone advise me what 'extra' bits n' bobs I might need to change my shocks and springs to standard height replacements?

If I went for a lift, would a 2inch lift change the road handling considerably?

thanks

Why dont you check bushes and hoses before you do either, and replace with poly if you have a few quid spare. Or regular if things are tight like me.

You could do a lift and see if you can live with the things that crop up, then replace things until you are happy!!
It is a landy after all. I gave up handling ages ago!!
