I want to lift my Disco body by 2", I already have a 2" suspension lift on it, what do I need watch out for, is it an easy job, do I have ot do anything with the steering linkages etc. :roll:

All cause I want some big wheels and tyres..

There is a post on LROi at the mo covering most of this. You may have to get a small extension for steering columb, The gear seletor will move down so may require a larger opening as may the hi/low selector. You will also have to extend the brake lines. Check Lhama4x4 as He sells custom lengths at very good prices.
Youy will also have to make or buy longer seatbelt ties for the rear and rear floor supports. You will have to extend the fuel filler and might have to unclip some wires where they run allong the chassis to take tension off them. Youy will have to trim the fan shroud so ythe fan clears as the rad will move with the body !
Quite a job to do it properly . I had an 8" body lift on my old trooper !!

if you fit an Equipe body lift kit you will not need to extend any thing
look at www.lrsoffroad.co.uk this wil be atshows this year it has the lbody lift kit on and the Equipe extreme kit on it

I take it the equip lift has all parts included then ?
It must include seat belt ties as these are a legal and MOT requirement and as such would need extended mounts to tie them to chassis or seats and belts would have to be removed.
Nice chassis by the way. :?: Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£ :?:

Murph, what tyres have you got in mind? Ive got 35's on mine with a 2 inch lift so you dont necessarily need to lift the body.

Bulli,

I'm thinking of the same size on mach 5 rims, have you got a picture what 35's look like, I have already got a 2" suspension lift.

cheers Murph

Bullfrog

The seat belt mounts reach and donot need replacing and i still have 15mm of thread left so they could go higher on them , the steering colum does not need an extension and the brake pipes (if you have 2"lift and longer hoses can be moved )But i have taken them down the Radius arms anyway these i can also supply at a good rate :lol: mot this week then i will be at Driffield show and Billing if you want to come and see it..
