    I keep forgetting this is about coil suspension.

    I've only heard of land rover making a D4 with coils once, and that was in Africa. A new AULRO member posted details of it just recently.

    not interested in your comments re air suspension, this thread isn't about those cars.


    are there any d3 coiler owners that have raised their cars?
    Lifted My D3 S on coils and fitted new tires.
    photos below.
    springs are KRFR-13HD and KRRR-14HD
    and used Maxi Trac (i know I know cheap ass) extended travel HD shocks

    tires are 265/70 r17" Sailun Terramax AT's

    Measurements: (center of hub to bottom of wheel arch)
    Before:
    front- 455mm
    rear - 485mm
    After:
    front - 540mm
    rear - 560mm

    Tire size change was 23mm in height tot he car also (46mm rolling diameter change)

    so I picked up about 110mm overall clearance gain if you look at it that way. . damn front left tire scrubs on full lock under power too. .

    Leroy.

    that looks very good Leroy,
    thanks for the spring numbers and shock details.
    110 mm sounds good, I just need to measure the garage door clearance!


    thanks

    Probably worth noting, the car would likely sit more level that mine without a bar and winch one it, for reference my winch is running synthetic rope also not steel cable.

    Id dare say too, that the springs will settle in a little bit after a month or so, Ill take new measurements in another couple of weeks.

    Leroy.
