The Llama 11" travel kit seems very good value too!- Will probably be what Ill end up doing on the next project (assuming I can get the parts for a 110)
If you go 1", and chop the arches, bigger tyres will go under (so more clearance under the diffs!) but you will still keep a lower CofG and reasonable road holding, the right selection of shocks/dislocation bits will ensure you have loads of travel. I would also think about looking into the X springs by X engineering!

Exactly what I'm thinking. 235/85 R16s, 1in lift, trimmed arches. Should get the extra height where it's wanted but reduce problems with CofG, steering, propshafts, etc.
Chris Putt:
Was (again 'was') what was going to happen to my old disco, seemed the best route for every day+play and a mate I knew ran the set up with 265/75 BF muds on a 3 door (don't think 265s would go on a 5 door quite).
I need to starft looking into 110 bits..........
wrecker:
this is my every day car and weekend palything,and i mean 365 days a year and i have had no probs all
i run +2 springs and dampers,i havent touched the lines and on full drop i still have over a 2inch of free play in all the lines,and left the bump stops standard.
with 31,10,50.r15 wheels and tyres,
i have mates that have spent ££££s on theres and i can keep my wheels on the ground longer and tuck my wheels in further than any of them,
and best of all,no cutting at all with springs that have coverd over 6000 miles so are super soft :dance:
o and sorry its not white 8-[
boss:
pm sent pal, you may be very interested :D

WoW thanks people been a realy grate help!!!
ok well im looking to use my truck for going to work and collage every day but i want something with lots of wheel drop and something that's going to look bad ass when i pull up next to my mates with there gay Peugeot and saxo tins! so those pictures gave me some good ideas.
o and its got to be TUFF! because it might get some abuse down some farm tracks! so what i have planed is:
pro comp +1" springs or 2" cant decide :? i think it will be 2" as it looks cooler :D
Goodrich hoses
dislocation cones front and back
2" drop twin front turrets but i don't know if you can get them so might go with a single shock 2" drop
2" drop rear shock mounts
longer bump stops
anything elts i might need?
only one thing what shocks because i want some long ones which i can get a lot of drop out off? or will it be a lot withe the dropped shock mounts?
i might cut the arches but its a five door and im not shur if i want to do it and muck it up
i think i will go for a 31/10/16 or something around there.
Cheers,
Nick
