Default its to low help

ok so i found a site with 2" spacers for a coil conversion kit and it brought up a question.

would these spacers work on if the truck came stock with the coil suspension or only for the conversion kit?

heres the link LAND ROVER Air Suspension Parts - Range Rover 1995-2002 (4.0 and 4.6) P38A

It wouldn't work if the shock is inside the coil (on the front) as the shock mounts directly to the axle and looking at that raising kit there's no hole in the center for the shock. You might need/want longer shocks as well.

So what exactly are you wanting to do, if it is to raise your truck, if you have the original factory suspension, they are not a good idea. They work well with a replacement suspension like RTE or OME but with your old tired suspension you will just feel even more top heavy especially off the road.

I think Rover Tym has spacers that allow through shocks in the coil, in fact I think you can mount the shock to the spacer for extra length.

Look at the spacers on their site.
