Got any bites on this one? It could be properly done, but odds are that it was not, that looks like too much lift. But it sure does look pretty...
What sayeth thou, Rover Oppos?

Looks like an OME with adjustable panhard rob and dropped links. Looks legit. It worries me a little the "4-6 inch lift" part. is it 4 or 6? looks like 6 up front and 4 in the rear. I'm guessing they though the bullbar would weight more and they put taller springs up front to compensate instead of getting heavier coils.

Unless they have documentation saying the head gasket has been changed, crack pipe.
Edit: even if they do, it's still around $3-$4k too high.

Properly done would, I assume, not involve lifting the front without doing a damn thing to replace or even to adjust the front track rods behind the axle, thus pulling the axle back a solid inch and a half and no doubt fucking all angles involved to steering linkage, driveshaft, etc. beyond all reason.
(thread -> any contact with the seller)
EDIT: maybe they did do the links like HHFP suggests. Geometry still looks a tad fucky.

Exactly this, I think they did a couple of 1" spring spacers in addition to the OME heavy duty lift which is supposed to be 4" before it settles to about 2.5-3"

Wait, the front axle ends up that far back with dropped links? I was thinking they'd used the stock links and caused that that way. Something's mismatched, or looks like.

Yeah 100k+ Land Rover?? You had better not be asking more than 4-5k, because the repairs the first year of things going wrong will be at least 2k in parts. Rear main seal, transmission, heads and oil pan gaskets, front driveshaft...

It does look super wonky, like the front is a little raked out due to either too tall springs or spacers added to lift.

Either way that is an almost unusable amount of lift on a D2, unless you do lockers, i don;t see things going very well on the trail. I mean, I don;t think these should turned into rock crawlers, bu to each their own.

Cam. Depends somewhat on year, but no-power-and-I-don't-know-why crops up on RV8s often due to a cam being completely worn out and just not lifting the valves, or so I've read.

ah, I meant sway bar links. Yeah, they need new radius arms.

*radius arms* - yeah, that's the nomenclature I was looking for. 6" is seriously wack on the stock arms.

I am going through that RIGHT NOW. I need to get it done, but househunting and holidays are enough to crush my new salary. I'm telling you, if I had 10-15k to fully sort out my Disco, she would last until the last drop of oil has been siphoned out of the earth.
