Body lift needed fo bigger tires? - Land Rovers Only

adcomp · 07-18-2006, 12:04 AM

I was out driving with the new range rover yesterday, and came across an area that had some really deep ruts on either side. The path was narrow so i had to have two tires in one of the ruts. It was also deep enough that my diffs were just barely above the ground. And I mean BARELY. I would love to get a little more clearance. Right now I have some 31" tires and a 2" OME suspension. If I want to go with some bigger tires, like 33", will I have to get a body lift as well?

If you want to keep some movement in your axles, yes you need to get a body lift. A 2 inch body lift will fit tyres up to 35 inches. The width of the tyres and you rim offset will determine the amount of guard cutting you will need to do (if any).
