Rovertym Suspension

[RedTD5]

Hi all have been looking at giving the car beter approach and depart angle. (also make it look tougher)

Has any one fitted a rovertym 3 inch lift kit from what i can see it come with coils, shocks, brake line extensions and all the other things i will need at a pretty good price with the dollar being up at the moment.

Is anyone able to speak from experience installing it and how does it perform?

Thanks

as far as i can see there is no need to go overseas to do a 3" kit for the D2. Shane at suspension stuff can sort you out in the coils and shock dept, as for brake lines there is any number of mobile guys that can come and do them for you, and the ABS lines you can source for around $90.

All the odds and ends like the front crossmember spacer can be sourced from Les Richmond in Melbourne, they are very helpfull however i have found them to be a little bit pricey.

The dollar is awesome i went a bit overboard and filled up a pallet with stuff from the US, but filling a pallet is the only way you will get your moneys worth out of shipping. You will find that the cost to ship coils etc will be quite exxy. I paid $770 USD for a pallet, and that has ALOT of stuff on it. I would imagine it would be more expensive to pay for 5 or so boxes.

There is heaps of info on here about all sorts of lift sizes and styles that can be sourced domestically, i know British Offroad sell terra firma, and i am pretty sure TF does a 3" kit for the D2.

If you do decide to go with Rovertym they are an excellent crowd to deal with and have an excellent rep in the US, just look on Pirate4x4 nearly all the D2's have some Rovertym gear on them. Mine will be sporting their adjustable Panhard, shocktowers and lower front mounts soon :)

georgesadlik has all of the RTE kit, shocks etc. Shoot him a pm, and he seems really happy with it.

Does anyone know where to get your drive shafts extended for the lift or can you get away with out it for the 3 inch lift?

Standard driveshaft has been working fine for me so far with my RTE 3" lift. I do have a greasable DC though and make sure it's always packed full of the stuff.
After 12mths of running the RTE lift and no dramas yet and i love the ride and off road ability.
Hit us up off line if you want to know more.

Cheers

did i mention i like the use of the word 'and' ?
