Lifting a 300tdi Discovery
Discussion
Does anyone have any advice about lifting my truck. I want to go with a 2 inch lift but im not sure what else I have to change other than the shocks and springs. I have heard that the standard brake hoses (im planning on getting braided hoses eventually) are long enough to cope with 2" lift etc. Does the prop shaft need changing to compensate for the different angle and so on. Im not in a rush to do it but I want to do it all right first time cos rather than getting bits and bolting them on as I get them.
Cheers for any advice.

The main reason I want to lift it is so that I can fit taller tyres. All the times I have taken it off road, the diff pan getting grounded is the only thing thats stopped me following other people.
Its used mainly on the road at the moment but I want to set it up for off road use and have a second car.

I know im running 235s at the moment but I cant remember if they are 235/70 or 235/75.
My aim was to fit 265/75/16s but going on what you have said about 235/85s I might go for those instead. Although the wider ones will "look cooler".
If I can fit those without lifting it I will just trim the arches for time being and stick the tyres on and see how it goes after that.
