Green Laning Prep

<< < (2/3) > >>

Disco-Ron:
If you're worried about the spring popping out, a quick temp fix is a couple of jubilee clips around the top of the spring and it's mounting....

Unless they're quite serious lanes, you won't get near full articulation anyway.....

If you haven't already, get a good set of maps for the are you're going to, check legality of the routes, and ideally if it's pretty much your first time out, go with at least one other vehicle......

Thanks Ron, don't worry about the laning, I will be going with my GLASS group, don't know where yet like, decided on Tuesday nights meeting :D  Been laning a lot so not a novice I just haven't done it with the suspension lift on

The rear will always get more travel as it's three link and the front isn't. You can get three link for the front but it's a lot of work and only really necessary if you want to go to extremes, enjoy your laning!

Range Rover Blues:
On a standard car the blades on the side of the chassis mount were to guide a dislocated spring back into place, they don't work so well on a lifted car.

That said I have a pair of location cones and they are still in a box waiting to go on.

With the ARB still fitted I have never popped on out.

Thanks for that Range Rover Blues, saves me a job!!  I went laning yesterday just round some local lanes, it seems so much better behaved off road with the lift on, you see a big rut tense up for it and it seems to glide over them, the bigger tyres will help though.  I might not get round to doing the ARB spacers (done the CB though :D ), what detriment will this have, i presume it will just restrict travel??
