    BFG tyres are generally good. The KO2 has just been replaced with the KO3, but not all sizes available yet. BFGs are a bit pricey. I've got on really well with the Maxxis Wormdrive AT980. Very similar to the KO2 but considerably cheaper...

    Those wheels and tyres look fine and should work no probs. The next size up is a 285/75R16, they are a little taller and will look quite a bit fatter. But you might end up with this size sticking out of the wheel arches a little. Might not be a...

    I went for the flatdog springs as suggested by @300bhp/ton who happened to recommend them to me too. I went for standard height but HD as I use my 90 mainly as a work wagon! I went for bilstein shocks and gwyn lewis galvanised retainers and...

    If you want to spend some money, then I'd recommend the Gywn Lewis kit. Its all about the go rather than just the show, if you know what I mean. It will transform the suspension travel and on technical off roading will make a huge difference...

    As Phil mentions above, the fitment of the rear shocks is different to the front, so not possible. However, I think you might be getting yourself a little mixed up. By and large, the spring will set the ride height of a vehicle. The shock is...

    Any examples? Must be far and few between. I've consider an FL2 and researched them a lot, out of the many many threads I read across various forums, I've not seen a single case. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I'd assume is very much the...

    265/75R16 is a standard size, so will work no problem with stock suspension. As a rule you can normally run 33" tall tyres no problem. Although it will depend on the exact rims, tread and vehicle. Off road the 110 has a brilliant approach angle...

    Oh very clever. :rolleyes: A real shame you aren't clever enough to note that a Freelander 2 is all independent suspension while a Defender is live axles. The Muddy Mods FL2 lift is also just a simple spacer lift above the struts, so does not...

    Do any of them cite actual people having driveshaft and other component issue due to lifting the vehicle? If not, then all you are doing is posting FAKE News and not helping the op at all.

    So a lift doesn't really give you more room for bigger tyres..... not unless you plan to never drive the vehicle or flex the suspension. Under suspension flex you'll need the same room for the tyre as you would with stock suspension. You can...

    So all vehicles use the same parts then or are you spouting generic nonsense? Plenty of lifted Freelander 2's about. If it was a problem you'd likely here a lot more about it, plus see other supporting mods being sold by places like Muddy Mods......

    On the muddy mods site, the grey FL2 on the KO2 tyres on the lift page looks to have 245/70R17's on. I'd suspect this is likely as big as you can go, but may still rub. I think there is a chap on YouTube with slightly bigger, but he did have to...

    I would guess halogen. You should be able to get to the bulb. Halogen will light up at full output instantly. Xenon may flicker as you turn them on and gradually increase in brightness.

    If you're over this way again lemme know, would be great to tag along! I've done this same lane a few times, but only the downward way like you, and I too did the sensible bit at the waterfall. Cracking little lane, and a few more around the area! 😊
