Ok, this is my first post so i hope it works. I have been asking some questions about suspension mods on the ****, but i can't really get any answers. I want to know about Coil-Overs. I have seen a few trucks that have them, and I think that they are awesome. When I first got my disco and put a 2" lift on it, i thought it was a pretty badass truck, but I need more. I want to know how involved it is to fit Coil-Overs. I would like to be about to fit a 35" tire or even a 37" if possible. Any info would be great.

EDIT by OS no need to add fuel to Kyles rage

PM Rover1, He may be able to answer your question better than we can. There are very few of us here that have coilovers on. Doug should soon, but other than that, I think Rover1, Hinkle and Brandon are the only ones. As far as I know Brandon is not releasing the SG spring rates either.

To get the ball rolling (in the other direction than what list is better bullsh*t) the first thing to consider is that you need to nail down what size tire you want. Coilovers are not as expensive as some think, but on the other hand unlike a coil spring they are more difficult to get substantially more lift out of them with out buying a new one. (e.g. no spring perch lifting devices). So narrow down exactly what you want and do it once.

I would reccomend that you weld a tab to the knuckle and rake the front coilovers in at a 10 degree angle or so. This works well for many other competition vehicles. ( I have these tabs on my front 44 already in case I move this direction someday). You can definately fit 12" travel shocks and most likely 14" travel. If you mount completely vertical and don't mind the shock coming through the hood than go 17" or 18" :)

In the rear I think you can go 14" if you rake them slightly forward. Again if you don't mind mounting them inside, go longer. The hard part is getting spring and the coilover dialed in. Since this is virgin territory for rovers, It may take some time and money dialing them in.

Don't waste your time on super high dollar coilovers. Low speed rockcrawling you won't need them. Bilstein makes a rockcrawler specific coilover. This would be my first choice.

Mounting points should be easy. For the rear call Rovertym, for the front call MJLee. Or make your own, which is what I recommend. All depends on what size lift, mounting location, etc. that determines how much we can help you.

If you want some really good answers go to the general 4x4 discussion in this list. Make sure you have used the search button first and that you have at least done some research. You will be blown away at the amount of information that is already there and the information that the combined knowledge of that list has on unusual stuff.
