hi all, some of you have seen pics of my disco running a (i was told wer 2.5") 2" lift on the suspension flatdog 75mm arches modular rims with 265/75/16 insa turbos, (the bf mud copies) and 30mm wheel spacers
she had a nice stance but the arches looked far to big and i dint wanna spend 160 more notes to make them smaller! so instead ive opted for the far more expensive route of bigger...after all bigger is better plus the insas had horrendous road noise and wobble that drove me nuts on a daily basis
so i bought myself 5 brand new hankook dynapro mts. same as on my trayback and i got them in 315/75/16 i also got them at a bargain price which is also a plus
so they drive 100% better nowere near as much noise or any wobble atall. and also make the arches look like i needed them! bit of a bugger getting the spare on though needed to move the wheel mount about 3" up the door so may find another home for that at a later date.
anyways theres no way im going to offroad as it stands now because ill destroy the bodywork it rubs ever so slightly with a full car around corners, ( i would have been happy with this in my previous scooby) so ive bought 2" body lift spacers and bolts, i no i have to extend rad pins and seatbelt anchors. and ill do the transfer box lever aswell. but is there anything else i need to watch out for....brake lines obviously and fuel lines ... any tips?
i have done lots of searching but not found much in the way of a definitive this is what it took to do this job.
thanks in advance and heres a pic or 3 for you all
