is it possible to lift a freelander???

[dom leadenham]

im thinking of lifting my freelander eg taller/bigger springs but never heard of anyone doing it? any ideas??
i'm probably gonna get some sarcastic comments on here but some serious answers would be great too lol

 

[Sean]

you got problems with big curbs round your way ?

 

[fanatic]

wheels and tyres would be better choice as you will compromise handling with a lift

 

[dom leadenham]

ok thanks fanatic i'll take that into consideration, Theres a few good off road courses near me and im thinkin of takin my freelander but wanna do some mods first. i had a little sportrak that i use to have untill some little sh1t pinched it with a forklift truck! i can put some pics on here if anyones interested in seein em?

Dom, ignore the insults. I have a 19 inch lift on my freelander, its splendid. I suggest you call craddocks in the morning, part numbers are, HOMO666 and RS8KE.

Ignore the tratter boys un their stooooopid comments.

Yer can fit a lift kit. Max is 50mm. When lifting with independent suspension the suspension arms are angled more. This can cause problems with the camber compensation pins - or something like that. The easy option is to fit bigger tyres. But your limited to size.

Personally I have bothered lifting mine as it dun't make much difference. Many on ere have. It's a popular topic if you do a search.

cheers everyone for the amount i'll be taking it off road i'll just start with the tyres and see how it goes from there. im not gonna hold my breath its only a 2.0 td but eh we'll see how it goes.
How do i put pictures on here from my hdd or do i have to put them on photobucket ect first?

Best to upload to photobucket. There's also an option to add images to posts when you select reply and use the advanced option, but the files size is limited.

If yer chooses yer route carefully, yer be surprised how good Freelander can be orf road. Take it easy un stay within yer limits un have fun

 

[Hippo]

Oh, un most use spacers to lift as it's difficult to get longer springs.

 

[dom leadenham]

cheers hippo, i love goin off road but after the stories ive heard about the freelander im a bit sceptical but only one way to find out i suppose..............!
i already read the dummies guide but what i didnt realize is the file i was trying to add the photo to my posts and then i realized the file i was trying to upload was a zipped file!!!!!

[jamesmartin]

[Hippo]

There's loads more over ere too: land rover stuck - Google Search

The one up to it's roof in water is the LR doors fallin orf test Freelander. Bin there 13 years un they still int fallin orf.

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

funnily enuf, Hippo - i reckon if the water got that high, yu mite want the doors to fall orf.

 

[Hippo]
