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

The D2 hipped roof ensures it's a fair bit taller than the RRC. With my 31inch tyres and modest lift it still needs 2.1m.

Cheers

Just a quick one guts n girls, this lift kit was put up to start a convo about what lifts are possible on newer LRs RRS, RRV, D5 even possibly the new defender (hopefully).

By showing that a 6inch lift is possible with 37s and that it apparently drives like stock,its not saying lets all go out and do it, it does however show us what is possible at the highest level, from the humble 1inch-2inch lift rods, through to massive 6inch subframe drops. I'm not going to get into why 6inch is never needed discussion and why 37s are for comp guys etc, that's not what this is about, and if thats your thing, great!

Personally im impressed that bigger lifts are possible on a car I thought was only possible to lift in a compromised way.

Yeah good point

I think airbagged D5s would be ok, however not sure of heights on them.

It looks the goods on the Rangie, not so sure about the D5, kinda looks a bit stupid, something about that rear wheel placement, looks like when U 6" lift a patrol and dont lengthen the trailing arms. Looks like the rear wheel is going to drive through the back door.

I wonder how it pulls the 35's along??? I actually wonder that about most new 4x4s and all these flash new dual cabs. Its common place to lift them and whack massive rubber on them, but U never hear of anyone re-gearing them to suit.

I guess thats not a problem in Aldi Car park

Seriously tho, Gearing... Think about it.

Yeah again its mainly 33s or 35s with or or 4inch drop im actually thinking would be practical in oz.

Who knows what it would look like on a D5 with 35's

Closest example would be the lucky 8 D5 with 33s

Apparently on 37s the supercharged rangie doesn't even notice em on or offroad.

By mentioning Aldi, I'm guessing you are having a dig they dont go offroad when lifted haha..hmm well these guys do, some of the hardest tracks in moab, pics are online if you want to find them .

Attached is owner of red one. (Not owner of susp)

Also attached is the lucky 8 disco 5 with just a rod lift and 33s.

I got a quote ... just to see .... 13.5k and 1k for shipping....

Ahh nice, you did what i did.

I initially though it was just blocks to lower, however there is far more than that, its a very highly engineered kit, and apparently gives a stock feeling RRS, 6 inch lifted on 37s, now that is very very impressive knowing how much work it is to get 4inch and 35s safe at freeway speeds.

Guy has been doing it to hummers for years.

Not many people with a 70-400k car are going to bat an eyelid @ 13.5k, in a similar fashion to people dropping 25-50k+ on a new 79

I want to ask him about the possibility of a 4inch or 2 inch kit, and if so would their be less engineering involved, also do flares and all trim bits come in kit etc.

Will try do that when I have the time, if you have a convo started, maybe give it a shot too if you can, more the merrier.

I think pic below is 35s, before 37s and flares added.

Hey...That is nearly as much flex as my D2 has...
