Bet that drives like a boat.

I've fitted one of those body lifts to a mates Jimny... was easy and as its a jimny there isnt many options around on lifting the vehicle..

but on a disco...not sure about it, specially having suck a small base on the spacers..

That front-right wheel looks a little close to the bodywork... or is it an illusion?

newson · Jan 9, 2011

it doesnt rub. Well lots of people have fitted the body kits but your entitled to your opinion. The body only sits on mounts the same size so I cant see any different. And no infact it drives spot on. Cant tell any difference to when it had its standard suspension and wheels.

consisted of what?

my mate already had a 2" lift (I think)... and then got the body spacers..
was easy to fit though, undo all the body mounts, jacks between body and chassi.. up and down in one go, job done

my discovery with +2 sus and +2 body on 265/75R16 insa turbo special tracks

want to do something with the gap around the front bumper but as its a winch bumper not touching the bumper

we have the same kit i think?

get your front bumper on and more pics

mine also handles fine

made no difference

discoboy84 · Jan 9, 2011

newson · Jan 10, 2011

nice, have you not lifted your bumpers:? I made spacers for the back but think I will put a new one on the front probably homemade

yu get slightly less wet feet?

[JP] · Jan 11, 2011

possibly even bigger tyres with less chance of rubbing under extreme articulation?

discoboy84 · Jan 11, 2011

not wanting to move the winch bumper as i pull myself out of some **** and changing it would weaken it (leverage)

my rear end articulates pretty well so wanting more room and my side exit exhaust is going over the chassis
