Just brought a set of 285/75 16's for my disco. I have 1.5" lift spring on way and was thinking of a 3" body lift, is the body lift gonna cause any problems & think I'll still need to chop arches???

Dirt-Devil:
Hi there, I'd say yes, you'll still need to cut some off the rear arches and as for the body lift but you will need to adjust the steering column links due to the different hight, break lines and probably the clutch line but not too sure on the last

Brett69:
I did a 3" lift on my P38 & had no problems with brake lines, steering or clutch. Thought it would be even less complicated on a disco. I guess time will tell lol!

Dirt-Devil:
A suspension lift is one thing and wouldn't affect anything too much  but a body lift involves extending all the lines as what you are doing is moving the body and chassis further away from each other so the existing lines will be too short and for the steering column you are changing the angle so it would need re-set at a different length to compensate for that
