mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
seen these massive tyres and at 125 quid a piece im sure thinkin about it but i going to need
a other 4 inches of lift at least
brake pipes
relocated shocks to stop belly out on archs
rear exhuast system in the way of wheel movement.
wheel arch flares
axle ratio
steering problems
any body done this before.............
like to know any other problem areas

I suspect those tyres are they are Super Swamper Boggers made by Interco, which is what the anacondas were based on. I have their 34" LTBs waiting for substantial outer wheel arch mods to a RRC which is already suspension and body lifted a good 3"
Kiss good by to your half shafts.
Personally I would start a fresh for a set of 38" tyres, using something like Toyota axles and you might as well make the front end 1 or 3 or 4 link whilst your at it 8) Build it all with a lot of lift and reroute the brake lines along suspension links so you don't risk stretching and provides a degree of protection.
Hay, whilst your at it pickup/tray back it and have exhaust stakes behind the cab so clearance round the axle/tyres is not an issue.
Go one you know you want to :(shades):

check the american landie on 38 in the extreme one gallery. its that type im thinkin of. besides i use it every day so on road handlin will have to me a main issue to.saw a range rover on 33 for road with a 10 lift and 40 inch mud tyres.
THE TYREs ARE NEW FROM SILVERLINE 4X4 AND NOT AMERICAN ONES BUT THEY DO LOOK GOOD BUT WAY TO WIDE PAST 12.5 WIDE

that is going to hurt your pocket a lot......you will have some serious issues to contend with offroad.and onroad i doubt you will ever be able to have a comfortable ride let alone a safe ride.....i ran a six inch lift on the rear with 36s and the car stood over 7 foot high...you will have to sort out driveline angles for props ect as there is nothing you can buy off the shelf for that.also your transmission,half shafts,diffs,axle mounting points will all need to be changed and seriously strengthened!!!!
going above 35 inch tyres i believe the car becomes a buggy (in american terms) and not a car.

plan for the road is to
lower the anti roll bars by 6inches with a customade drop kit. never took them off it gives a form of hydric control without the ace system on later models
extended bumpstop with lower mount custom made
30 degree propshafts 300 quid
cranked rear trailing arm 150 quid
6 degree qt radius arm with castor corrected bushes 300 quid
4;7 diff a local guy does them for 35 quid
24 spline half shalfs. 50 quid each
so it should ratain normal road holding except for the increase in the centre of gravity
or might cut spring hangers of and lower them by 2 inches and reweld them also drop the shock mounts by 4 inches
