fliptop:
what would be best as the prices r about  the same a 1" or  2" lift or a 3" lift can not make my mind up, would a bigger lift work just the same r could you come along problems if the r/r is to high on a lift kit.

muddyweb:
Every inch you add brings problem with drivetrain and steering geometry and stability.

Depends what your motivation for the lift is really.

Dave:
What is the car used for mostly playing with or every day motor. Do you do many road miles. 1" lift can be done with no problem. 2" lift can be done with some other mods but not to bad.. 3" lift you will have to do the full monty prop's, longer brake hoses, castor correction arms,and probably some more. Plus it will look a bit silly up there with out big tyres. Ps the 2" lift should have some of that done.

Range Rover Blues:
A 1" lift should stay within the tolerance for steering castor, you may get away with standard dampers and brake lines.  You will begin to get pulsing in the front prop but depending on how worn things are you can live with it.
2" lift and you are about to loose any castor, it's about on the edge of tolerance, pehaps over so the steering goes vague,  You will be getting drumming from the front prop, the dampers need extending as do the brake lines.  The rear anti-roll bar will flip upside down off-road.
3" you really should be repacing the radius arms, dampers, brakelines, bumpstops, propshafts (the rear one will start binding), anti-roll bars, underpants (first time you drive it) etc etc.

Dave:
You do type it better than me Andrew. :D
