We've just gone with a 2" lift and BFG AT's. Although she liked the look of my Kumho KL71's. My wife won't let me fit a snorkel because she knows I'd use it!!

I've a pretty good idea what I want to do to the Freelander if that's the way I go. If you don't mind me asking, who fitted / supplied the lift-kit for your Freelander? And how much was it?

The lift kit was from Celtic 4x4, but I'm not sure he's doing them any more. I had to cut huge chunks of bodywork away to allow full rebound travel/full lock of the front suspension.
Before and after pics....
Gordo:
Thank you for that. I assume it has an effect on the handling too?
It doesn't look too obvious either - I'm trying not to turn my Freelander in to something that looks like a battle-ready 4x4.
V8MoneyPit:
Hasn't had any noticable effect on the handling.
We used camber adjustment pins on the front and it's been set up by a race car company to get it back to factory settings.
Gordo:
Thank you for the info: I've decided to take the plunge, and Freelander Storm will hopefully being doing the honours with kit from Tornado Motorsport.
...now, what next? Winch...? :-k
Llanigraham:
Don't bother with a winch, Gordon. The only way to fit one to the front now, needs a great deal of modification to the bumper and metal work behind it. Geraint (ex Celtic 5x4) tried to sort one out, but it didn't look very "pretty". You could fit one in the back, where the cubby box is, but you would need to introduce some strentheners back to the frame.
