Lol Steve! Isn't the new toy enough?
Not much available for the D3/4 in that regard unfortunately.
Hello Together,
has been a while since I was on here :-).
Just wondering whether someone on here has a D4 on 35" and what is nowadays available in regards to HD upgrades for a Discovery 4 like CV's, Drive shafts, lower control arms etc......
Contemplating another discovery build....
cheers
Stefan

Lucky8 do some air suspension spacers (2.5") so you can run bigger tyres. Not too sure off the top of my head how much bigger you can go, Im sure if you spend some time on google you might come up with an answer

Gordon mentioned how he went from a D1 or 2 to the D3 and found he had barely anything break on him in comparison during competition.
275 65 18s or 285 60 18s already push the envelope really unless you want to run off road height full time with rods or llams.
My 285s rub on the chassis horn a bit. So not sure how you would go bigger.
I adjusted the castor about 5mm or half a degree and that bought it forward enough to stop rubbing...

I believe the D4 clearance at Off-road height is 240mm and this is relatively uniform across the complete underbody but with the low point where the exhaust spreads to go around the spare. Not sure how that would compare to a live axle diff hung under 35s.

						Yes and no, diff clearance is probably the main benefit in muddy rutted tracks but the greater ability to roll over obstacles the larger footprint and taller sidewalls are also huge benefits.
Have a look at tuff truck and the like , even if that's not your flavour you won't do it on small tyres. Think of a skateboard mounting a kerb versus a mountain bike , overall diameter is the key
