Here comes my first question since I've searched and can't find an answer. Maybe I'm asking the wrong question.

I'm trying to figure out if I have a lift on my new to me 95 Disco. What is the stock ride height? I have blue springs if that helps anyone.

This is my first question in any forum which I belong to so I'm sure I have left something important out.

Looking at the pictures you posted I would say you have a 2 or 3 inch lift.

Measure from the ground up to the top of the wheel arch and let us know how tall it is and what size tires you have.

Yes you have a lift, a rather cheap set of coils, all have settled to different heights. I believe that lift is sold thru DAP and I don't believe they sell it per a specific height.
What about the shocks, who's are they, what color are they?
Are you concerned with the ride, uneven height or what?

Sorry it took so long to get back with more info.

I took the right front wheel off and took a better look at the spring and shock. I also looked at DAP website and I agree that the lift came from there along with pro comp 9000 shocks. It seems to me that this setup has been on the vehicle for some time with the amount of rust on the components.

I can't complain about the ride and it handles heavy loads very nicely therefore I'm happy.

So, what are you going to be using the truck for? Much wheeling will cause those coils to collapes even further. At some point, if you play hard with it you will want to switch out to an OME or RTE set of coils and some decent shocks.
Enjoy your truck.

It was purchased to get around the city and up the driveway when the snow gets bad enough and to back the boat up the drive and into the garage. It does tow a skid steer very nicely, was in low range and didn't go over 20 but only had to go 3 miles.

I may take it wheeling next year. I want to see if it will give me much trouble and what maintenance is needed. if we keep the truck I want to upgrade the suspension bushings and such to make it more roadworthy. The hard wheeling is reserved for my Cherokee until it breaks in half.
