Lift on a 90
Range Rover Blues:
One thing I would chip in with is castor. A 2" lift reduces castor by 3degrees, with build tolerance of about 2 to 3 degrees this means effectively it become zero.
With a 3" lift you will make the castor negative.
Then you get into the whoe world of castor correction, if you go that route I strongly suggest the TD5 prop rather than a wide-angle unit.
V8MoneyPit:
I have never corrected the 110's castor with a 2" lift and it's been fine. But I accept your comments about LR build quality :lol: I guess I have been lucky! And maybe the longer wheelbase hides the instability a little.
littlepow:
Mine runs a 2" lift with 265/75R16's fitted, if you want a try at Peterborough.
Had britpart springs, but used to compress to much and bottom out if you loaded up the back with camping gear.
Switched to OME, removed anti roll bar. Handles better and doesn't lose height when I fill it up with stuff.
Have found front prop will rub on anti roll bar at full flex!
Not castor corrected yet, but will be for peace of mind.
