30mm body lift - Land Rovers Only

Elmo the 300Tdi disco · 06-25-2008, 07:09 PM

Hi Guys , new to the site and just wondering where can i get a set of 30mm(1.5inches) body lift blocks to suit my 97 disco as most places i look only do the 2 inch lift. Thanks

I've only ever seen the 2 inch body lift offered any particular reason that you don't want the extra half inch?

Hi , I was told with only going the 30mm blocks I wouldn't have to change to much to make it work but if i went the 50mm blocks i would have to get all the longer gear to put on it ?

Or am i better off just getting the 50mm complete kit ?

If you want 30mm, just make your own. Get about 2 inch solid aluminum round bar and cut it into 30mm lengths and drill a hole up the middle. You will need 10 of them.

In regard to 30mm Vs 50mm, I had a 25mm lift initially and later went to a 50mm. The only difference was that I had to lengthen the high/low range lever with the 50mm lift. Both lifts require you to remount front bumpers, radiator shrowds, etc.

No idea where you're located, but the DAP 2" kit has everything you need. The Rovertym kit has everything you need except the extensions for the body pan supports, which you can make yourself pretty easily if you can weld.

Not that much in it doing it yourself and costs very little.

Mick, cool, thanks for updating your profile, always a help

Well...I guess either of the sources I listed is a bit far for carriage charges. I know RTE makes their own kit, but DAP's might very well be made someplace else and available to you. I've no idea on the brand though.

Hi Tom . I got in touch with rovertym and it would cost me $70 shipping to OZ . So i may be going in that direction I think

Why the hell would you ship a body lift kit from the US when they were originally developed in OZ. Just go to Les Richmond Automotive P/L if you insist on buying one. Their kit at least complies with Oz design rules and engineering standards.

I have an old 25mm kit sitting in the shed that you can have for nothing if you are ever in eastern Melbourne.

I can't remember if it says on their web site, but you do need the resources to weld in an extension to your steering shaft. Not a big deal, but something you need to do.

I have certainly not had to extend any steering shafts with 2 inch lifts on Rangies and I have not heard of anyone having to do it on a Disco.

Australian road laws prohibit you cutting and welding the steering shaft.
