There's been plenty of threads on lift kits.If you do a search , you'll find the answers you're after. But generally as a rule 50mm is the maximum height. Any higher and you're asking for mechanical failure of steering and driveshaft components.

Sounds like you're on about the cheap as chips ones on ebay that are made from bits of cut CHS and a plate top n bottom & half welded up. With them, you get what you pay for. Don't fit a 75mm kit, as said, 50mm is really the maximum. You'll need camber bolts for the front and your wheel alignment/tracking done after fitting
We sell 40mm kits but sold the last of our current batch yesterday. They're on eBay too

you shouldn't do, but with either kit you'll need to trim the inner arch and maybe move the fuel lines

Only reason I can see for the 75mm lift is for the sport which is an inch lower so the lift works out the same as a standard one plus 50mm

I know about the camber pins and the trimming on the front inner arch for the steering arms for the 2'' lift, but can't see what is the trouble with the fuel lines?

On the TD4 the fuel lines run along the top of the nearside "Chassis" box section right under the track rod ends at certain steering angles & full suspension travel they can be mashed flat by the track rod ends, there is enough slack in the lines to pull them down the inner side of the box section & secure with a tie wrap

ok, it's a "Td4 condition";
I've been studying a 50mm lift on my L-series and couldn't see how the fuel lines would need to be altered.

Fuel lines on the L series may be in a different place
