David, this is Bo on Rod's logon, from the pictures I have to say it doesn't look too bad. One thing to bear in mind is that you need to measure from the centre of the wheel hub to the body line on the wing front and rear to establish if it is sat level. Measuring to the underside of the arches is okay fro checking side to side but not back to front.

David, I have just measured my Disco which has 2" lift springs all round and it measures 23 1/2" hub centre to the bottom of the body swage line at the front an 24 1/2" at the rear.
Hope this helps.

Hi dave, I agree with Bo, mine is roughly the same bar a few mill but my boot is full of junk. Mine has bearmach blue two inch lift and sits back. Dont recommend bearmach though, too soft.

Cheers Nick
If it ain't broke, I'd be bloody suprised.

Looks great Dave, now you can join us all in destroying it :!:
Mine is due its MOT end of this month, I'm sick of of these government tests lining the Sykes pockets. :twisted:

If you looked after it and maintained it on a regular basis then it wouldn't be an issue , I had to put all 3 of mine through MOT last month and only 1 cost me any money (annoyingly a front wheel bearing on the Disco so big bucks :( )
