Just throwing this out to get temperature and perspective:

Both my kids have 20yo Land Rover Discovery 2. I've had a couple and love them.

I was noticing now that both are home for summer that one sits with a rake while the other is totally level. Both used to have rear air suspension and both have been converted to coil springs in back.

On the truck with the rake I noticed two things that was done by the genius doing the conversion:
1. They used Discovery 1 lower spring mounts which give the truck a near 1" lift in rear. The Discovery 2 mounts are more deep dish.

2. It appears that they installed the springs upside down as the more tightly wound part of spring is at top when it should be on bottom.

So: could adding this 'lift' at rear cause the front to compress slightly? It is down by about 1cm. Secondly, could installing the spring upside down cause a bit of lift and/or F with the ride? Finally, how dangerous is this to have a rake and lift at one end while normal at front?

Luckily the kid isn't driving if for the rest of the summer and I have some time to rectify.

The joys of buying on secondary market after PO took vehicle to Jimmy Jo Bob and Slim for work on a non-traditional vehicle (read Chevy/Ford).
