3" lift is complete. NOW WITH MUD TYRES!!!!!

(1/8) > >>

disco-v8:
well at first i totaly bought way to much stuff for my truck for the lift i intended....  at first i just wanted a 2" lift so i didnt have to worry about castor problems, but instead i bought a 3" lift with castor corretion bushies and correction trailing arms with a new polly bush kit


well after the short wait of 3 days it arravied, in one bloody BIG box, i felt like a little kid at christmas when it came, i ripped it open to recieve all the parts i wanted inlcding a free mug...... well im not complaining lol

it contained

4 bearmach blue springs
4 pro comp shocks 2"+ travel (these are more than 2" i put them next to the old ones)
4 extended brake pipes
2 QT correction trailing arms
castor arm correction bushies
poly bush kit
HD turret rings
and of course my free mug lol

well after 3 days of cutting the old stuff off with a grinder (bloody hell they are put on so well) the new stuff went on so easyily and WOW what a difference, in looks and hight

just thought id show you the difference

oh and the ride is so much softer, got to be more careful in those corners now, and the i can tell the difference in the UJ's aswell..... im hoping they will wear abit and stop vibrating so much, they sound abit worrying at the moment, but only time will tell

Range Rover Blues:
Woo HOOOO, that looks tidy now, well done.  How's it handle with the castor correction then?

Have you heard the legendary drumming yet?

Dear Santa, this year I are be mostly asking for new UJs :wink:

Range Rover Blues:
The more I look at it, the more it just looks right at that height, like it was meant to be.  Even the wheels look ok on it.

disco-v8:
oh yes definatly got that drumming.... it only usualy happens at low speeds on over run......

at higher speeds its more of a hummmmm with the vibration, oh and i dont like trying to get it up past 52MPH so its in over dirve..... it starts vibrating like hell then lol

think i need to make some sort of CV prop shaft to go on it, but in the mean time i better get a set of UJ's for spare just incase

hey it looks even better from the side, took it work today and it looked even higher then it does in that picture, i can even get my head under there easily to check everythings ok lol

the handling is very different, but not in a bad way...... the old suspension was very hard but was great on the roads and aronud courners, but the new stuff is well softer but in a good way, those speed bumps dont bother me anymore, it doesnt roll as much as i thought it wud, if i hit the ramp at work at speed you can barley tell, before it would bang and make u jump... the only problem i can see with it is that if turn to sharp or going over a speed bump, it bounces abit, like the shocks are softer..... but im sure they will be great for off road as i intended it to be....

as for the correction bushies, you cant even tell the differnce.... i even thought there wud have still bin some problems but none at all, it may even be better than it used to!!!!!!
