Freelander Lift Kit

Does look good though.

No wonder you get vibrations with those tyres lol......there a bit extreme for a Freelander. I've got 50mm lift, 30mm wheel spacers, camber bolts and 205/80/16 AT tyres. Been on for 2 years, and no problems (touch wood).

Did you fit longer brake hoses with the 50mm kit? Do you remember which kit/where you bought it from?

Yeah, longer brake lines fitted. Its a Bearmach kit, brought it off someone you had never fitted it, so had camber bolts with it too.

I'm looking into the possibility of a lift kit, but most of the time being realistic, it will be on road around South London and the south east.

Does a lift kit alter the fuel economy- I would expect it to make it worse.

Would a 40mm kit be the most sensible lift for my '06 TD4?

My car also has 17" wheels at the moment. Are there any 17" tyres to go with the lift? I currently have the standard size 225/55 R17 General Grabber UHP tyres.

Or should I be buying a set of 16" wheels?

On a recent trip, I done 600+ miles....mixture of town, country roads & motorways, with an average of 40mpg.

Wheel and tyre choice depends how often your going to go off road.

Tell it to this...Has had lift kit fitted for 40,000 miles with no probs, complete with bigger wheels and tyres has 4-5 inch more clearance than a standard freelander which is about 2" more than a standard 90/110 and plenty more than standard series

I've not read the complete thread so apologies if I am asking something already discussed but, do you get any rubbing on the arches? (Not your feet!) the clearance looks a bit tight especially at the back. You didn't consider cutting them?
