6 Inch Lift And Leaning A Lot Off-Road

:lol:
At the end of the day you can either have articulation off-road or a car that handles like a go-cart. The higher the truck off the floor the worse the compramise is.
DESIGN IS A COMPRAMISE. The only way to get a RRC to give you the best of both is to fit air suspension.

Air is not the only way, hydarulic is another and potentially has other benefits if you can make it double acting, but like air suspension the compromise is still there, though in the form of added complexity instead.

Not sure the independant suspension of the later LR products is that much better off-road.
LSE with plus 2" shocks LSE in motorway mode this is what you call an anti roll bar.

Don't know that air suspension offers the best of both either. It might be useful on the road and then liftable offroad (which gives bettter approach/departure and break over) but its then stiff as hell in comparison to a well designed lifted truck.
The shocks on our rangie where so knackered that they actually resisted the truck from leveling off after leaning. You would go around a corner, causing body roll but when back on the straight the chassis and body stayed lent over! I doubt this is the problem but its amused me.
Sounds like you've gone too high! They look to be 'bigish' tyres aswell
