L494 lift kit!

[discojools]

Here's an interesting one from the US:

http://jaustonfab.com/range-rover-lift-kits/ (http://jaustonfab.com/range-rover-lift-kits/)

[simmo1]

Interesting.

Thay say "Our patented 6″ lift kit increases approach, departure, high center and decreased body drag. The standard kit utilizes the air ride system, keeping all of the travel modes of the range rover design & characteristics (entry, normal ride & off-road) at the touch of a button. The kits design keeps all of the Range Rovers suspension engineers design working angles. This a bolt on kit."

To achieve what they say it sort of would have to be a kit the lowers the driveline away from the body, including the engine. So not using the suspension to effect the lift but actually to lift the body up over the running gear. Or am I reading this incorrectly?

Interesting to see what wheel size they are running.

Cheers, Simmo

I really have no idea how they do it! And anyway I can't see it being legal here in Nanny state.[bigsad]

Interesting - looks like a body lift kit combined with a suspension rod kit.

I think it is more of a suspension drop. I suspect the motor and transmission remain where they are but the difs and associated suspension parts are lowered.

I like the front Nudge Bar I wonder where one can acquire? The flares also look neat.

Suspension subframe drop,susp and body stays as per stock, he says they drive like stock and they run 37s, if you can prove its safe, should be legal through a good engineer.

Is that model a monocoque body ? I think the early rrs will become the new off road toy soon with big lifts and custom gear.

Hopefully the new defender will be the same.

Heres a susp subframe drop pichttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190330/7b4c5c1d2927426a673c2fc6b183ab73.jpg
