    Sorry it's taken a bit of time but i just snapped these ones for you guys to have a look at. Picture is a bit rough as it's off the phone but it shows how i've moved the crossmember back without needing to drop it down and also how it no integrates into the mid crossmember with longitudinal rails that protect the g/box - exhaust and act as sliders as well. The tubing in seemless rollcage tube for added strength.

    Cheers

    Good question. Every Disco 2 I've seen so far has this problem ... but then I have only seen my own

    I am reliably informed that any bigger than a 40mm lift gives problems at the front drive shaft/crossmember and to the flexible joint in the rear shaft.(best to replace with uni).

    on my 02 Td5 I put in OME springs and shocks for an approx 40mm lift and didn't have any clearance problem on the cross member. when I then went to the current Koni HT's and Lovell springs the extra shock length required extending the cross member mounts.
