Thread: lower defender

From standard height? you'll be hitting the bumpstops quite often if so

from memory one of the disco or rangie spring sets will let you do it...

I wouldnt reccomend it due to the loss of travel and you'd have to change the bump stops to a shorter firmer set and that would have the potential to be bad.

you could get a set of springs custom wound for probably not too much more than a full price set of springs.

You could drop to D1/D2 size tyres - 235/70/16 - but you won't like it on the freeway.

One has to ask.........WHY?????

Air bags. Do a search plenty of people have done it and have posted their efforts on here.

Trade it a buy a freelander?

The Disco or Rangie springs won't work in the rear though, wrong diameter.

You can always have your springs reset to a shorter free length by a reputable spring works, they just anneal and re-heatreat after resetting.

I won't recount the bodgy way to reset springs and no, it doesn't involve cutting as all that does is increase the spring rate.


BTW, are Stagline still going over there ?

My old shearers flannel is getting thread bare and I want to order a couple more and I've found it hard to track down a phone number.
