Discoveries are off roaders when they leave the factory.

i would say for the spacers they give you a lift of 2" and you dont have to extend any pipework plus you can keep the standard shocks and springs they fit under the springs on the base plate if yer strapped for cash this is a good budget way to get ya started then in time you can add a +2" shocks and springs which will give you a 4" lift
