Hi
Recently bought my disco 1 and am was told it is fitted with a 3” lift kit. It also has bigger tyres (cooper discoverer stt pro) on modular wheels and its looks great.
Thats all fine however there is oil leaking out of one of the rear shocks so im looking at replacing those 2 as a pair ( brapest option). My questions (however silly) are:
1. If keeping the 3” lift, do i have to source appropriate 3” shocks? Any recommendations?
2. I understand steering elements are altered for a 3” lift- how can i tell that this has been done and what would i need to change back if taking away the lift kit back down?
3. Would i need to alter much if going to a 2” kit?
4. Do the bigger wheels and tyres necessitate a lift kit to begin with, and does that mean i am stuck with it unless i change the wheels/tyres for smaller ones?
Any help is much appreciated.
