Thread: 3" lift for defender 110 ?

2" lift is enough, to get more trravel you can fit longer shocks and dislocation cones, the on road manners are then left OK, but offroad it will be improved out of sight!

Search here for long travel shocks, and Psimpson7 is manufacturing dislocation cones etc for sale to members.

Anything over 2" will wear uni etc much faster, anyway you can fit 35's with 2" lift

oh i see well um i was wondering if dislocation cones legal or illegal? and long travel shocks can you describe some brands etc etc and yes 35" tyres would be good but i dont want to be too much of a slug on the road either with all that rubber

When looking for Extra travel you will need longer shock mounts to prevent "Bottom out", Talk to Cal with the V8 county, that thing has HUGEeeeeee flex.

If you change the shock mounts to Pin instead out eye, this will give you a greater range of shocks and also better flex .

Also what motor is your fender.

heres a link to the pin shock mounts.

oh ok when you say cal do you mean cal415(Mick) yeah his beast is pretty eye catching but the amount of rubber he has (37's from wat i can remember) is almost that big i could drive under his diff lol
i have a 1994 200tdi defender 110 the pump has had a little thing done to it to make it go better (not screwed up)but the tyres i hav at the moment are smaller than standard wich might also be contributing to less off road performance?

A set of 255 85s or 285 75s with a decent tread pattern, should greatly improve you off-road ability, whilst keeping on road performance good


Ben

ok yep well i currently hav BF a/t's but they r the next size down from standard so wat ever that is lol but my suspension is that stiff that if i put my front right wheel up a mound the front left and rear right come of the ground and start to kick and buck and jump if im in difflock
