Thread: Whats involved in raising my D1 2"?

agree with randy. it makes no sense that lifting the car lowers the CoG. also if the reason you want to lift it is so you can fit monster tyres you will need to take into consideration that this will put much more pressure on your axels, shafts etc.
i have original tyres on mine and has had a lift in the past, slightly saggy now. when money comes my way i will just upgrade to 235/85. even with the current setup my car goes pretty much anywhere. i have been nothing but impressed at her. it helps much more if you can drive than if you just turn it into a monster truck.

Body lift requires engineers cert and a modest spring lift doesn't

Please read what i posted again... slowly...
It is clear to others that i said cofg raises either way, just that the increase is less with a body lift.

Brake lines, steering shaft, axle breathers.

Les richmond automotive kit, while expensive, has all these issues sorted.

Thank you Chopper. I will heed your advice and probably go that way. See ya - Gerry (wedgetail37)

Thank you to all of that helped me to make a decision. I am leaning towards the suspension lift, but i will now find the prices as that will be a determining factor. Again, thank you all and have a good day - Gerry (wedgetail37)

Hello Posty. Thanks for the info. Do the 235/85/16 defender type tyres fit onto the standard D1 Alloy rims or do I have to change the rims?

Anybody got an opinion on these please
