nice

did you use hand tools? and how is the ride

Bene · 06-23-2006, 08:57 PM

rubage?

ryanc8514 · 06-23-2006, 09:50 PM

yes i used just regular hand tools, jack stands, floor jack, used those straps with the tightening device for moving things in pickups to compress the spring enough to fit in as a replacement since the older springs were smaller. there is a tiny bit of rubbage when i turn the wheel all the way...the ride is awesome and you def feeling higher up, i like the feeling of having to step up into ur rig

Welcome to the lifted Rovers club!!

Looks great man!! Another LWB lifted is awesome man!

I know you have to feel some rubbing with wider and taller tires while turning sharp. I know I do with bigger tires. Either way, looks cool!!

It looks good man. I can’t wait to put my 3inch lift on. Did you have or need extended break cables.

On mine, I only have a 2" or 2-1/2" lift, and the brake lines on mine still have plenty of travel for articulation. I think it would be best to get extended brake lines to save yourself some hassle, but I haven't had a problem, plus the shocks I have stop long before the brake lines get taught all the way.

With a 3" lift, I think it would be good to get extended brake lines.

You shouldn't need extended brake unless you have som mad travel, heres an easy fix if your worried about em ! http://www.myrover.net/forums/viewth...=1222#pid10848

Oh, I forgot to say it looks sweet man !

ryanc8514 · 06-24-2006, 01:55 PM

haha thanks, yeah i dont see the need to get extended brake lines...since the air suspension use 2 lift up to at least 3 inches i would think that all the accessories would be fitted to be streched and whatever...but im not really sure, i could be completely wrong, it just makes sense to me

ryanc8514 · 06-24-2006, 03:43 PM

testing the flex in my alley, nothin crazy yet...planning on going offroading tomorrow

RageRover · 06-24-2006, 09:01 PM

Moses, that is a very clever idea, just bend the bracket so they point up!!

I might just try that, wouldn't hurt anything, and you did the fronts right?

Awesome trick man!!
