Lifted Discovery Sport

Lifted Discovery Sport: Types of Lift Kits

There are several types of lift kits available depending on your vehicle and its chassis design as well as your off-roading preferences. Here are some of the different types of lift kits to consider:

• Body lift kits — body lift kits are for body-on-frame vehicles. Body lift mounts replace the stock body mounts raising the body relative to the frame allowing for larger diameter tires to fit under the fender wheels. Body lift kits tend to be less costly and easier to install than suspension lift kits
• Suspension lift kits — usually require replacing several parts of the vehicle suspension, including the shocks/struts, leaf springs, control arms, trailing arms, and more. Benefits include better suspension articulation and room for larger tires.
• Other types of suspension lift kits include leaf spring lift kits, rear suspension lift kits, front suspension lift kits, or lift kits that lift both the front and rear suspension.

Lifted Discovery Sport Suspensions

The Discovery Sport features a coil spring suspension. Here are the stock suspension specs that a lift kit will improve upon:

• Wade depth – 23.6 inches
• Approach angle – 24.8
• Ramp angle – 20.3
• Departure angle – 30
• Ground Clearance – 8.3 inches

Another aftermarket lift kit option is an air suspension that allows you to adjust the ground clearance of your lifted Discovery Sport with the push of a button. An aftermarket adjustable air lift suspension system will allow you to tailor your ride height for different terrain and vehicle speeds.
