Why a lift kit, it will not increase the ground clearance ..........you need bigger wheels and tyres.

Lift kit raises the bodywork, not the axles.

Love a smart ass... Since when has a freelander had axles???
Lift kit will lift everything on a FL except the wheels and tyres which are in contact with ground...will also give you more clearance to fit larger wheels and tyres and therfore increase ground clrarance further....
Cheapest and easiest is Celtic 4x4 Ltd this has been fitted by plenty of the lads I know who regularly off road their motors and works fine with no reports of any failings.

Axles or propshafts, doesn't really matter about the terminology, but as soon as you start fitting lift kit's you load up the UJ's.Freelander propshafts are splined to the VCU.............limited amount of movement and once you start deviating from the design limits you get more wear.The UJ does not give any additional clearance unless you increase wheel/tyre diameter.

Tell it to this...Has had lift kit fitted for 40,000 miles with no probs, complete with bigger wheels and tyres has 4-5 inch more clearance than a standard freelander which is about 2" more than a standard 90/110 and plenty more than standard series

Surely if you lift a Freelander, you lift the Diffs as well, so won't effect the angle of the propshafts or VCU. Only have to worry about the angles of the driveshafts.

Those are 215/80/15 Bronco diamond back but with the tread being about 20mm they are more like .../90/.. profile and did actually rub slightly on half lock when new.
Wheels are Ox Racing 15 x 7 and fitted with 30mm spacer& 50mm lift
Will get round to putting full spec on here shortly but see MAD Freelanders Web Site under members FLs for a bit more info (even that needs updating)
