HI all

Well i got the bug now so i intend to go offroad with my Disco so now looking at lift kits.

What height would you recommend? been looking at several kits that have everything you need to do the job although on some threads it says to buy the componants you want ie springs, shocks, mounts etc

I want a kit that will give me better off road ability but not kill on road manners

2-3" seems to be the norm. sometimes 2" lift with 1" spacers.

How to post

i have a 3 inch kit its ok not too much of a boat but it is hungry for props if you dont get wide yokes

Ok thats sounds about right, so if i have a 2" lift kit fitted can i run the bigger tyre combo without arch issues or will i need to cut them about ??

Been looking at a few wheel deals and the average height is 31-33" tall, which is one hell of a tyre

But dont want to buy a set then find out i dont have the clearance later !!!!

Your not hanging about loony!
Have you tried you new motor off road yet? A lift kit isnt always neccescery. But like mhm sed 2" is the usual much more and you need to fiddle with brakes and props and castor arms

I have 265 - 75 MT on mine and had to chop a lot of the body work. I chopped one lot, went off road and bent the back end up when the vehicle was under stress!! So had to go back and chop loads more off!!

Not been off road as of yet but hoping to this weekend checked the underside of the car for rust etc and its very clean and looks like its never been off road !!!!! Gonna be getting the decat pipe and egr blanking kit hopefully today so i can fit it next week

Is it worth getting the turret thingy bobs ?? which allow the strut to compress right up ?? Or just go with a 2" lift kit and a set of spacers ??

I know how i want it to look ( im a tart ) just need the parts




cheers


tony

Couldn't agree more,

Just cos yer Landy's lifted dont mean ya wont get stuck.
It may help yer ramp over angle but No lift kit is gonna get yer diff higher orft the gound.

Then of course where do yo stop 2" lift, 6" lift, Bigger wheels, Portal Axles all may increase the vehicles ability but not yer own
