Post by: UKJeeper on July 02, 2007, 07:33:06: BFG AT or MT tyres work well under them. A fairly cheap "lift" kit is to buy the diesel "upcounty" springs for the rear, 1.75" coil spacers for the front. You can get 30" tyres to fit then.

Post by: Bishops Finger on July 02, 2007, 10:27:57: You should be able to fit 235 x 75 R15 A/T's or M/T tyres with possibly only a minor bit of work to the bump stops

If its M reg does it have an OE transfer case skid plate?..If not then thats the next mod plus possibly disconnects and as UK says the rear springs from a diesel :D

Post by: Snake110 on July 02, 2007, 22:30:18: thanks for the replys peeps

the diesel springs sounds the way to go i want it up a bit but im not going mad with this one just enugh for a spot of laining

bish will those 235/75/15's fit as is or will i need to fettle
the springs first?

skid plate :? dunnow i havent had chance to really
crawl about underneath yet to muddy ere :roll:

Post by: Jim-Willy on July 02, 2007, 22:34:24: the pic of mine is on 235/75 with no mods.............

Post by: Bishops Finger on July 02, 2007, 22:43:59: Snake absolutely no fettling of the springs..as said maybe slight adjustments to the steering stops

Post by: Snake110 on July 02, 2007, 23:34:46: perfect that'll do nicely

Post by: KD on July 04, 2007, 12:38:26: an M-plate most likely wont have a steering guard/transfer case skid/fuel tank skid.........

as has already been said, 235's will fit no problem, tis what I ran on mine when it was stock!!

if you want to know anything else, give me a shout!!

Post by: KD on July 05, 2007, 17:21:22: it might look weedy, but i have never bent mine!!!! :twisted:

Post by: isle of man on July 05, 2007, 18:34:32: that's probably because "da-plough" took the blunt of the hit first...........or then again, your superior driving technique could have something to do with it also.
