Defender 110 300TDI suspension

Someone pointed out that my defender front end shouldnt be noticeably lower than the rear, checked the coil springs and look like they've seen better days. Was thinking about a 2inch lift (as apparently i dont need to change anything else apart from spring / shock) but i've also read that this ruins the ride on road - what are peoples experiences & recommendations? I generally use the 110 for Greenlaning & road trips.

Lifting the suspension will raise the centre of gravity and negatively impact the dynamics of the vehicle. Unless you are running a big wheel tyre combination and need more space for articulation, I would not recommend doing so. My opinion is that anyone who claims that their vehicle handles better with lift had knackered dampers and/or springs and replacing these with new longer items to achieve the lift has just fixed that!

If your running empty, the back will be slightly higher. They say a 2inch lift is ok but I'd leave it standard, you Will be changi g uj,s more often.
