Default New Lift Need Shocks?

New to Land Rovers

After my first trip out in my "new" 1994 Disco (stock everything) with my wife, kids and dog, my wife bought me 2" big blue springs from DAP for valentines day. Problem is I just replaced my shocks with Boge shocks 2 months ago. Can I live with these shocks for while or should I just wait and get new shocks?


any help would be appreciated

You should replace the shocks with longer ones. DAP also sells Pro Comps at a very good price. Try selling the Boge shocks on Ebay.

Being a little more conseritive, I would say wait on the shock replacement until you have had a chance to test out the new lift. You may find the 3 month old shocks work and are long enough, you may find them not strong enough to give you the ride you want with the new coils or you may need to go to a longer stronger shock to give you the best resulys.
Good luck,
Mike

If you don't do a lot of hard wheeling wait awhile on the shocks till you have some $$$ put aside!
