4" lift

[stevewhite]

If I were to go a 4" suspension lift what would be the parts I would normally overlook replacing?

I can't answer your actual question, but some issues that come to mind with big lifts are:

relocation of ball joint for rear A-frame
raise upper shockie mounts for longer travel shockies
slot swivel balls to correct castor
modify trailing arms and chassis mount
depending on what your wheelbase is, high angle uni-joints for front and rear drive shafts
4" lift is getting into the region where you need an adjustable panhard
stronger steering links
longer brake lines

Contact slunnie here on forum for alternate lift information.

Check local legislation before spending money.....

A 4 inch it technically illegal. But drive reserved any little questions will be asked. Alternate lift options?

White tiger is a spacer kit, is engineered and can be legal with dot approval. Alternative is all the 4" being gained by springs and shocks instead of a spacer kit. This can also be legal if done correct and dot approval is gained.

I personally don't think you need to go over 2" lift, but each to their own, and I guess there are some situations where the extra height might be handy, .....as I said, each to their own.

You might be able to do 4" legally, you just have to do your homework.

For me, I was able to do it with Disco2's because they all sit at the bottom end of the ride height specification from Land Rover, so you can go to the highest end without it being a lift. In Nsw at the time (may still be unchanged???) you can lift by 1/3 of metal to metal travel which gave 70mm. Combine the information and I was up by 4". After all of the mods (tyres, driveline, suspension, brakes etc) were developed and in place it went through engineering very easily.

Mines the same spec as Slunnies - only remote canister shocks...

Easily approved!

Thanks for the info guys. It's not the ride height im looking for. I'm looking for the travel and the all important decent rubber.
