As your working on a Land Rover I pressume you have access to a welder.
I wanted to lift the rear of my Land rover 90 by 30mm. I was quite happy with spring poundage, bounce etc but I just wanted to put a bit of air between things without going mad.
Taking two spring seat plates and putting them back to back gives you about a 30mm lift and these cost about £3 or £4 each, obviously you already have two on your axle so only two more needed. I did look at ready made items from all the big boys and hey who am I to knock any of their great products, but if like me time is not really as much of an issue as my budget then you too may use an idea like this.
The ones fitted onto my 90 axle are painted gold, you can see them in the pic. I will post a better one as I go. I have put these on my old Disco too, this time incorperating three bits of 20mm box between top and bottom plates thus giving me a 50mm lift. They have been on a while now and show no signs of anything untoward accurring.
Please remember when lifting the vehicle take the shock travel, brake hoses, trailing arms and bushes into consideration.
