My buddy and I just put a lift on his D1..... 3" Big Blues.... Came out great...smooth ride......

+1 Rover to the bunch

They should be real smooth...ive read so smooth that a ton of gear will sag them down quite a bit. Oh well....lots of easy articulation right?

Excellent! Let us know how them BB's flex on the trail...wait, better yet, take him to Mayhem so we can see for ourselves! Does he have a cute sister?

He is going....... We also have a triped planned on the 26th..I will post pics for everyone!!

Excellent!!! Now... did you do anything other than new springs and shocks?

I am itching to go three inches on those BB. Did you go with the HDs or Medum duty. Are those the ES 9000 +2's.

This is great! Looks like you just finished everything I plan on doing to mine.

I think he got the HD...He bought them from DAP....... they are the ES 9000..... The only other thing he is doing is Steel braided brake lines..... with the
3" lift when the flex happens it maxes out the brake lines. SO to be safe he is getting the extended ones.....The other problem was the front sway bar, it's close to the drive shaft....It may just be removed or modifyed!!!!

Get rid of it. The HD's will give plenty of support.

Very Nice! God with everyone doing 3" lifts, I gotta jump on the bandwagon and do it to mine.

Why are people doing 3 inch lifts. It would appear that they do not have particularly large tyres. Based on the comments on the lifts, like improved road handling, it would seem that people are putting heavy rated springs to gain the lift. Heavy springs will stuff up the articulation off road. You are also increasing the centre of gravity than is necessary and therefore making the vehicle less capable on side slopes. etc.
