Lifting, How high? - Page 2 - Land Rovers Only

I tell you what I am going to do. I will stay with what I have and put heavier springs on the rig, I think taking the sag out will make the two inch lift look more like a true two inches.

I am running 235-85-16 as of now... I am real happy with these tires.

The bumper in the front will be getting a make over, I am sure that approach angle can be improved simply be getting rid of that plastic "grass catcher" that hold the fog lights.

Just ordered a brush bar with Hella's on it. I posted earier about mounting a winch to the front via hitch and reciever... I failed to order the brush bar with the winch mount so, a little welding and mods might fix that.

The roof rack will be next. If anyone has some specs on building their own roof rack, I would certainly appreciate the input. I want to do it out of Aluminum 3/4 or more tubing and have no problems welding it up. I can picture all the recovery equip, strapped to the sides now... ohhhh

Yeah, I know I could just buy one... where is the fun in that?

...of your 235-85-16 tires?

These are R/T's. Not quite Mud but much more aggressive and deeper tread than A/T.

Here is another view... I think you can see the spare a little better. I can take some better pics this evening. This is what I happen to have in the computer at this time.
