Ground clearance
Range Rover Blues:
Some people reckon that leaving the towbar on saves you damaging something else, like the tank. Swaping it for a remoavable one is a goodidea, if you fit a tank guard and reinforced bumper than all the better, but my Southdown weighs 36KG which pull sthe back end down a tad.
You could try stiffer standard sprinsg or fit a lift. One other route is to Tub the arches a little, the front ones can be done by looseing the braces on the bottom edge of the wing and pulling them out, the back is much harder on the Disco because the panels are bonded to the shell but you can roll the lip further underneath if it's what is catching or you could fit larger arches and cut the metal back.
As said the best choice depends on what tyres you are using.

1) saw this on a freinds truck , he fitted a bit of checker plate to the bottom of the towbar brackets running up as far as he could this acts like a slidder stopping him digging his towbar in net and cheep .
2 ) i run 235/85 on mine with a 2 inch lift with just a bit of trimming and wonderd why they still rubbed then my mate gave me a set of +2 bumpstops and that cured the problem

Im running 235 85 16 114K on Greenway steels I believe
How would running laif affect the ability to tow things at all ?

What????
I would guess that your suspension is tired!
Range Rover Blues:
I have plus 2" on Bluew with 235/85 BFG M/T and I can still tow if I'm sensible. You need a seriously long drop plate, especially for the car trailer as it's got a very low nose. I tow my Sankey with it just fine but for big stuff I prefer the LSE because it's auto.
