Thread: 6inch lift kit avail for D5! 35's Anyone?

Just do what lucky 8 have done imo.

However a 2 inch subframe drop would be a much better solution. Thought only 18s were possible with D5? 18 inch with 33s are great combo for touring.

70 % sidewalls on a 33inch tyre would be 23inch rim.

55% sidewalls on 18 inch on a 33inch.

Yes, I think that's right, like the D4 - more's the pity.

Edit: of course, in an ideal world LR would be fitting portal hubs.

If U want 6" lift and 35s, dont U just buy a Ranger these days??? Thats what all the cool kids seem to be doing...

Haha..its ok to put 35s on a RRC and defender but not a RRV, RRS or D5?

Rangers can be good but they are no Rangie

Actually this kit does 37s as per most of the pics.

I think a 2 inch drop for 33s or 4inch drop on 35s would be more suited to Oz and our engineering.

What on earth do you need 35/37's for?

are you racing The Baja?
The Kings of Hammer?

I guess by asking that you may not run 35s, and thats completly fine if that all you need for the terrain you drive. Im not guna get deep into why people want 33s,35s or even 37s in Oz, the answers are varied, well known and obvious I'm sure even if we don't agree with the answers, im sure there are quite a few threads on the subject . I guess its kinda like saying to someone that visits terrain where a front locker would be useful, "why do you need a front diff lock, isn't just a rear locker or lsd enough, thatl get ya most places wont it? "


35s for KOH not sure if ya'd make it to the first checkpoint bud
