Thread: Non standard Tyre sizes

    2 inch lift without replacing airbags

    I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions I have about raising the height of my P38 Range Rover I recently bought.

    I am looking at getting bigger tyres on it, and thought that 33inch tyres would be the way to go. However, I wanted to keep the Airbag suspension, is this possible? Can you lift the body of the car without pulling the Airbags out and putting springs in? Is it possible to get longer Airbags? If so, has anyone done this and how much would I be expecting to pay?

    Any help would be great! Thanks

    PS: The site is great and has heaps of information. Been great looking around

    I think you need to have a look at the Hardrange offerings.
    Its easy to lift the car up via software but then you are at the limits of the std airspring and ride hight sensors. You will also need the car to stop dropping down into highway mode with such big tyres. I am sure Paul at Hardrange will give you a more exact answer.

    Thanks for the referrals, blokes

    You can fit 33"s with a 2" lift kit, but will still get a bit of rubbing on highway and access heights. Below is a pic of mine on highway mode... and it is usually (always?) the front LH wheel that rubs when reversing and turning out my driveway and over the gutter.


    If you are going to use 33"s as daily drivers or for serious off-road work, consider swapping the diff ratios over to 4.1 to account for the larger rolling diameter. Your speedo will still be out by 10-15% so use a GPS or get a speedo correction unit.

    Apologies to anyone browsing the Hard Range site today and saw random code appearing at the top of the screen. I have fixed the database problem and all should be well again.

    Cheers, Paul.

    Hey Paul, does the Bullbars now come with the bash plates? Also, do you keep diff guards?

    The bash plate/stone guard is an option that we don't push too hard at the moment as it costs $300. Working on a cheaper option for both the HRA Roo Bar and the standard P38 bumper. Will be easier to get sorted now that we have a few "standard" P38's between Andy and I.

    The diff guard on mine is a modified Defender guard, Bearmach I think. We have plans for our own in the pipeline.

    Cheers, Paul.
