2" lift essentials
Range Rover Blues:
The rear ABS wiring probably goes alonside the rear A frame, so you should get away with leaving it alone. If it runs alongside the brake line I'd suggest trying to pull a little spare from somewhere. As for the front the same applies, try to find a little slack in the wiring loom to cover the extra travel, otherwise I'd suggest cut and solder to extend the wires a little and cover the joints with heatshrink tubing.
Tyke:
Was under the vehicle the other day checking the fittings before ordering new extended flexible brake lines and noticed the rear ABS wiring ran alongside the hard-piped brakelines . . . . . thats after I'd scaped enough of the muck off to identify anything :lol:
If I cannot wriggle enough slack from the loom and it needs a cut and solder thats not a problem.
All set up now for a Saturday change-over, new brake lines due for delivery from Llama tommorrow. Good hose down tonight and application of wire brush and a soak in WD40 for a couple of days and were ready to rock and roll :D
Tyke:
Just a quick update on the lift.
Saturday came and onto the ramps we went - 2½ hours later I was test driving . . . . . . is that a record for doing a 2" lift :D
No problems with anything other than one front upper spring seat/tower mounting stud sheared. Good job I got some new ones just in case.
The whole plot rides much firmer now with the kit fitted and is a bit harder for my 5'6" body to get into :P
Sorrry no pics but I've no website to host them.
Many thanks to Dai and Danny from Priory Vehicle Engineers in Fitzwilliam West Yorkshire for the help and support and use of Dans workshop . . and thanks to you lot for your advice . . . . it was much appreciated and saved a lot of time and headscratching.
Bush Tucker Man . . . . Danny is the guy with the restored Buick V8 you may have seen in the area :wink:
