Shocks convertion

I'm looking for a kit to convert the air suspension to a coil spring setup, does anyone over here has experience with this, you can get a better lift with them than the lift kit i have now on my air suspension i think Smile Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Yes you can do it, needs to tell the car that you no longer have air suspension. I'm not coming over your way for the Belgian off road event this year, but may be on your side in the future. Bodsys Brake Bible

Permanent lift bigger than 3 inches might not be very good idea due to half shafts angle for normal driving would be to steep
it aint defender
If you want massive lift try bolt on portal axles but i am not sure they would fit discovery hubs
