2 inch lift

This might sound a stupid question but i want to put a 2 inch lift kit with disc cones on my defender 90. I curruntly store my 90 in my brick garage with an up and over door i have about an inch before it touches the door. If i add a two inch lift will it actually raise it two inch or not or maybe an inch. I wanna keep it garaged because of the theiving scums. Worse comes to the worse i could let the tyres down.

it may well lift it more than 2 inches if you replace saggy worn springs with new ones.

Yep.
You win the stupid question of the week award.

Always one lol. See what your saying about saggy springs may have to let tyres down.

can yu lower the car 3 inches by letting the tyres down?

Letting the tyres down and pumping them back up again when you want to use it would soon wear thin for me.

Suppose ill have to invest in a compressor. I only use it once in a while just a toy i have 265/75 16 insa turbo special tracks suppose id manage 3 inch

+1 Plus the fact I can't see driving it in on flat tyres and leaving it like it would do it much good.

Agreed, I wouldn't want to leave them flat for any length of time.

Allot of fecking about either way.

you might find you can get a bit more room by pushing the door right open, often they "rest" with the bottom panel at an angle, so if you push it right up and wedge a bit of wood in or something you get a bit more clearance. Works on mine anyway.

As you're feeling energetic though, you could get some spare wheels and fit low profile car tyres to them to use for getting it in and out the garage

Sod changing wheels lol

lower the floor

Snigger Better than sitting on flat tyres though.
Oh and mines hasn't been on the road for 2-3 months so that's the best way for me
Not like I have to put the roof on every morning

Might be easier to take the up and over door off and put barn doors on

Since its brick built,cant you lift the roof? Or lower the floor,both?

remount your garage door on side hinges... will give you a good 3 or 4 inches

Grease the feckin roof ..... bit of a run up and it'll slide right in

Or dig the floor our and his drive? lol

I had this issue - solved it by hiring a number of acro props from Travis and placed them under the roof joists, wound them up raising the roof and put a couple extra bricks under roof. Landy fits now
