Lifted Land Rover Discovery

What is a Lifted Land Rover? “Lifting” a Land Rover like the Discovery means raising the vehicle’s height using an aftermarket lift kit. A lifted Land Rover Discovery will have an increased ground clearance, which can enhance your off-roading experience near Edgewater and more:

• Better departure angle for large rocky obstacles and steep climbs
• Sturdier springs, for softer landings on rough terrain
• Lift kits often mean you can get bigger tires on your Discovery, which can optimize off-roading
• Better visibility in heavy traffic when you are on paved roads

Types of Lift Kits

Depending on your off-roading preferences as well as the construction of your vehicle, you can purchase different types of lift kits.

• Body lift kits — body 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, including the shocks/struts, leaf springs, control arms, trailing arms, and more. However, many off-roaders say benefits like more suspension articulation and allowance for bigger tires make it worth it.
• There are also many types of suspension lift kits, including leaf spring lift kits, rear suspension lift kits, front suspension lift kits, or lift kits that lift both the front and rear suspension.

Land Rover Discovery Suspensions

A 2020 Land Rover Discovery is standard with a coil suspension, which is a common enough suspension type that will make installing a lift kit fairly straightforward. Before lifting your vehicle, know these specs to see how much more lift you want.

• Wade depth – 33.5° inches
• Approach angle – 29°
• Ramp angle – 22.2°
• Departure angle – 27°

The other option on the Land Rover Discovery is electronic air suspension, which enables you to adjust the ride height with the push of a button. If you have this electronic four-corner air suspension, you may not need to opt for a lift kit. Here’s what you need to know about Discovery electronic air suspension:

• Add it part of a package to the Discovery SE or HSE trims
• Get it as a standard feature on the Discovery Landmark or HSE Luxury trims
• The system can raise automatically for certain Terrain Response® settings
• The Off-Road 1 setting lifts the Discovery 40mm (1.57 inches) above normal height
• The Off-Road 2 setting lifts the Discovery 75mm (2.95 inches) above normal height
• Above speeds of 50 mph, the suspension will go back to normal height
