Cheers ill get in touch with Ashcroft and price the kit up.. :shock:
Im only thinking of doing this because at a later date i would like to fit larger tyres, like upto 35" mud-terains for play sites etc.
Yep more body mods and not to mention props and suspension.
So a gear reduction is definatley on the cards.

I wouldn't be too concerned about dropping both high and low ratio, the Range Rover, like many other cars, is designed to cruise economically in top cog. If you put larger tyres on you may find it won't go into 5th, especially as the roof bars and lamps all add to the drag, as do the larger tyres and lack of front spoiler.
It's more noticeable on LPG because you loose a little torque, with a trailer on I struggle to get into 5th running on LPG on the M1, as soon as I hit the slightest incline I'm changing down.
What you need to do is decide what tyres you want to end up on and re-calculate your overall drive ratios to keep them as they are (or a little lower because of the huge mass of the tyres).
