hobbit:
I tried my guyanes on the disco, before I fitted new heavy duty springs and gas shocks, it was catching round the arches and in the front inner wings. Not tried it since new springs, it wasn't a lift kit just heavy duty springs i fitted, must try again to see if they are ok

Wanderer:
Go for it!
It's worth it at the end of the day. Fitted 235 85 16 to mine and they transform the motor. They give you the best lift of all. Under the diffs.

I have 750-16 xcl's for offroading plus 2 ich lift they perform well off road but make road speeds over 55mph very interesting indeed.

Interesting how? :?

Is it caused by the tyres, the lift, the combination? Is there more work to be done in order to improve things?

I've heard many people talk about doing a 2" lift and fitting larger tyres, but every now and then a little "but..." or two get mentioned. It's something I have considered doing but I'd like to get the whole story on the overall effect it has on the car.

Having to drive at  <= 55MPH would wipe it off my list :wink:

Range Rover Blues:
The 2" lift causes problems with the castor angle on the steering, much talked-about here before.  Also the taller tyres can effect the steering, especially if they're MT.  You could have a second set of tyres for playing though! and keep normal ones for the road.
