This guy Lee, was going to sort out my stuff when I was going to build an LS engined P38, knows his stuff

He has a Box for BCM on Gems, that sorts the rolling code, can do anything, he used to do all the P38 conversions that went to the UAE

Lee is fantastic, I think he is originally a seppo aswell

Shame I never went ahead, but Duramax had more appeal

Sent them an Email and ill let you know what they say.

I'm very happy to be rid of that suspension. I prefer the reliability factor of the coils over the adjustability of the air

It is a 5 inch suspension lift over standard height plus the tires. She is getting tall

I don't know about the flares he used, but disco 2 flares have the same cut for the body as the P38

My P38 has a bit over 3 inch lift and is on 32.8 inch tyres (285 75 16 which has the same diameter as your 305 70 16 tyres) giving it a bit over 5 inch total lift. Comparing the pictures of your vehicle to mine, your's seems to have about the same amount of lift so the I think that PaulP38A is pretty much on the ball with the total amount of lift that he suggests on your car. With a 5 inch suspension lift you will have to go to a double cardan driveshaft joint or the vehicle will be undrivable due to vibration. You may prove me wrong but I suspect the double cardan joint would have difficulty with a 5 inch suspension lift.

They got back to me and said they can only do GEMS computers. Looks like we still need so IT help.

We just went off of a P38 that was sitting on stock air suspension for our standard height mark. Does anybody know what the correct measurement is from Land Rover?
Just for giggles let's do a comparison between our two trucks. From the center of the rim to the bottom of the fender in the front and in the rear what are you getting?

Now take a level across the top of your tire to the ground what measurement do you get?

Ill do the same
