How big are you thinking of going with tyres?
Have you got a lift?
How high?

Lifting the body and fitting bigger springs might be a better bet. You can always reverse them.

Hey baz i hear diffrent things about fitting these arches as in 5 m doors are harder but can be done i want to fit these to my commercial cus they look cool and cheaper than spending 200 quid im sure someone will have a idea on ere how they go on.

Post by: Disco Inferno on November 17, 2005, 21:36:37: i have defender arche son my 5 door
yes the rears are a pig to do

i lopped a huge amount off to make plenty of room, i have a template here if anyone wants a copy
you'll need a large sheet of thin plywood or hardboard to draw round mine

pm if you want any advice on how to fit them, only to happy to oblige
