Ok asked this before but anyone had experiance with a 2inch lift does it cause problems with the cv joints?
re lift I must have had my series head on when i answered this on I compleatly made a fool of myself havent I BUT a solid axel will stay at the same height
No cos its pointless
In my part of the world it woulld be usefull
in this part of the world it would be useful to search before asking questions
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 theyre needed and other dont. 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.In my part of the world it would be useful
Havent lifted my Freelander. Ive 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 wasnt made to be lifted and I dont want to spoil what is a good vehicle with good ride quality. My advice? Save yer money for when it needs fixed.
Always wear jeans.not only that - you might catch yo dress on it getting in and out - eh Hippoo?
Thanks Hippo Very helpful indeed I think I will leave mine standard for now and see how she goesNot many lift their Freelanders. The ramp break over angle doesn't increase much.

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 dont have tyres too big which will catch the bodywork as they move. Tyre change option effects gearing.
