True - it will, but as stated, gaylanders and later discos n rangies don't have solid axles :eek:.

It depends whether yu want greater clearance under axles or less chance of getting flooded in the cab.
 
useful to tell us that, but you didnt look very hard - did ya????

Not many lift their Freelanders. The ramp break over angle doesn't increase much. Ground clearance does go up, but only by the 40 or 50mm you lift. As I understand it (and bearing in mind I int lifted mine) the 40mm lift kit is better. The 50mm lift kit was a bit too much for some. Lifting can uncover issues which may have been present, but unnoticeable with normal suspension set-up. Some report drive shaft problems. Others report no problems. This issue of camber correction pins pops up too. Some say they’re needed and other don’t. Some have had their lifted for many years without problems. 2 types of lift. Springs and spacers. Both very expensive for what they are. Not many produce them for Freelanders. Those that did stopped after a while.

The easier way to lift a Freelander is to change the tyres. Fit tyres with a greater diameter. You just need to make sure you don’t have tyres too big which will catch the bodywork as they move. Tyre change option effects gearing.

Haven’t lifted my Freelander. I’ve taken it orf road many times and have thought about a lift but the issue of the safety of fitting a lift puts me off. The Freelander wasn’t made to be lifted and I don’t want to spoil what is a good vehicle with good ride quality. My advice? Save yer money for when it needs fixed.
