    Seriously if you have to alter the suspension that much to make a 4WD capable off road then you have obviously bought the wrong vehicle in the first place

    With IFS and IRS I would hate to see with these big lifts how often it breaks components and wears out bushes. I reckon it would be a dog in a number of ways.

    Seems like you don't really understand what they have done.

    The only angles which are different are those from the transfer case to the diffs. The only extra load on CVs and driveshafts is from the large tyres.

    "Our patented 6″ lift kit increases approach, departure, high center and decreased body drag. The standard kit utilizes the air ride system, keeping all of the travel modes of the range rover design & characteristics (entry, normal ride & off-road) at the touch of a button. The kits design keeps all of the Range Rovers suspension engineers design working angles. This a bolt on kit."

    Did you look at the link and read the information or just look at the pictures?

    I couldn't be bothered reading the detail to be honest. Cause if I had a D5 I would want to be able to insure it. The linked vehicles are not in that category.

    Cheers

    The suspension doesn't get altered at all really you're just making space for bigger tyres

    Mate it was all there haha, it took me awhile to get my head around it too but it's actually a really amazing kit I can understand why he patented it.
    If we can get it in a smaller size like a 2 inch or a 4 inch it is a much better option than using lift rods.

    Keeps the suspension working stock as a rock

    If something is engineered for a start and you let your insurer know you are covered.

    + these four wheel drives would be able to go 200 km per hour on the freeway standard, so would be no problem at all to get engineered at 110 with say a 2 or 4 inch suspension drop and 35s with a good engineer.

    My question in the first instance was rather has anyone ever had anything denied because of mods from Land Rover?

    Mate it is not about letting your insurer know it's about letting them know and them agreeing....Its a big ask with these modern vehicles. You would need to be very specific and ensure that tbe police schedule noted the detail for a start.

    Cheers
