Thread: Want 35" engineered on my d2 what to look out for

I was under the impression 35's can't be engineered anymore.

Ashcroft front CV's axels and ATB
Rear maxi drive Ashcroft air locker
4.1.1 gearing
4" lift
Upgraded drift shaft

Wondering what would be my weakest link now if I put 35" on?

Would be grateful for any input.

I can understand the gearing change requirement, but why the other stuff?
Does the engineer require brake upgrades?

Pegg the diffs sounds like the most logical improvement , Most will say you need a fuse (weak link) But we all try to build these things bullet proof

have all the things already on the truck just want to see where to improve further, no additional brake test required he was satisfied
with the one we just did but another lane change test will be required

When all this is finished the engineering will be worth more than the material state of the vehicle.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of a hoist to get in and out of it. I know you're taller than me, but I almost needed a crane even when it was on 33's lol

Who buys a Land Rover as an investment anyway?
