Howdy all,
With all the recent threads on 'lifting my disco' 'body lift' etc, got me thinking.
I don't do much serious off roading, but like the odd off road course etc.
After recently fitting the -35 offset modulars, and then the extended arches, I have noted that the tyres are now pretty close to the front arches, esp when turning, which I didn't anticipate when I decided to go down this route - guess the offset has put them in-line with arches.
As you can see here circled red...
I currently run a 1" lift with HD bearmach springs, and don't want to go to the trouble of re-doing my suspension, since it’s all pretty new.
I certainly do not want to go 'huge' with suspension/lifts/tyres etc, as happy in what I am running (265/70/16 BFG A/T's) so was considering just a 1" lift.
Apart from the bumpers not aligning - is there anything else that would need extending with only 1", as from what I have found looks like everything will be ok with only 1" lift - but just thought I would ask to see if anyone else has only lifted by 1", as all the threads I have found are lifts of 2" min.
Also its an Auto, so will it only be the difflock gear lever need an extension - as guessing the auto lever won't need touching?
This is a kit I have found....
