The BEST Discovery 2 Body Lift Guide!! (DIY on my DRIVEWAY!!)

Рет қаралды 26,551

Жыл бұрын

Hello Landy Fans - today I will show you how I did a 2" body lift on our Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5. I struggled to find information exactly how to do it on a D2, and there are several ways to do it depending on how much time and money you have. This way is the easiest and cheapest way to do this mod.
It is not perfect or show quality but it does the job well.
This is just a guide for fun. I am a qualified mechanic, so please get your vehicle checked by a qualified mechanic if you attempt this yourself.

Be good to see how to move the front and rear bumpers to close up the gap after the body lift. Only just seen your reply sorry I’m a bit slow 🤤

@@MrBlottedscience yes dude I've done the front one now but I have to wait a few weeks or more to do the rear one so hang on for that video :)

Great video mate! Ive just done mine following your video! Mine is an auto so no messing around with the gears… one thing to mention, the flexi brake pipes in the front left wheel arch, be careful they arent being stretched. Looking forward to more disco 2 content!

@AutumnCars Жыл бұрын

That's amazing to hear! Ahh yes I failed to mention all my brake lines are +2" braided ones and have already been unclipped from the body sorry! I assume that most people that attempt this are somewhat mechanically minded and can sort small issues like that. I'll mention "and other things" in videos moving forward thanks :) Disco 2 and Defender content coming soon, lots filmed :)

@bradleywatkins8402 Жыл бұрын

@Autumn Cars thats alright I noticed it after I had done it and wondered how much I must have stretched it then separating the vodka to insert the blocks! Seems to be okay though! Will definitely be keeping my eye out for more vids

Hi Bradley. Just wanted to ask if you need to take out the gear knob, mine is an auto as well and I'm thinking of doing it as well. Cheers

@bradleywatkins8402 Жыл бұрын

@@alexbeggy2007 hi mate, no, just loosen the selector cable on the gearbox end on the XYZ switch. This will allow the cable to slide out slightly.

great video, just done a body lift on my landy, ran into this issue with not getting gears so need to do what you said and space it out or just cut a notch out, not decided yet!

@AutumnCars 6 ай бұрын

Spacing it out would be ideal but it's definitely more involved and difficult! I just cut the plate and be done with it 😅

That sound is power steering fluid. I think it might need a top-up and jack up front and turn the steering wheel to get air out. I get the same noise in my disco from a small leak

Have you got a list of the bits that need unbolting before raising the body? My lift kit is coming soon.

Sorry to be so negative but a body lift is a waste of time, you gain nothing you would be better off doing a proper lift on it

@andrewthomas6948 Жыл бұрын

Not really, what about tyre clearance etc

@AutumnCars Жыл бұрын

I see your point, however I needed more tyre clearance cheaply (sub £100) and not compromise on-road stability and geometry. Lifting on the suspension more than the 2" it already was would require more than only springs/shocks/blocks to drive well :)

@AutumnCars 15 күн бұрын

14 for a D2 yep. Extra 4 under the load area
