It looks like im going to order some of those insa turbo special tracks, im going for the 265/75/16's
but im also thinking of a 2" lift at the same time, what i would like to know is, is this kit any good? http://www.paddockspares.com/products.asp?tp=1&partno=DEFKIT1PFULL

remember, i do 50 miles a day on road so i realy dont want a massive lift, also i have found that if you go to high you start to get problems with the drive train. All i want is a good all round vehicle.

Many many people will dissagree with me but I'd avoid pro-comp shocks like the plague :evil:
I'm very keen to learn what the new "super gaz" shocks are like as they seem to be better made and have longer waranty than the pro-comp units

joker777:
I have to ask, why do you say this?
I had the Explorer ES9000 shock and the +2" rear springs on my LWB pajero and found them to be superb both on and off road.
Im not arguing bu im intrigued.

lenrover:
on My old 90 in my avatar i had OME shocks and springs and off roaded it very hard indeed i had them fitted for well over a year no worries and they guy i sold the truck to still runs them over 2 years after i sold it him

Then i bought the disco and thought i'd save some cash by gettin some pro-comps instead :cry:  :cry:  they broke every time i went out off roadin either the eyelet would snap the threaded bar on the bottom would come off -Taught me the lesson of "you get what you pay for"

joker777:
fair play to you, OME is good stuf.
