Will i need to chop my arches or body

Defender Chris · Jan 27, 2012

Ive got a disco 1 3 door as a prodject i want to put my 33 12.50 15 tyres on. ive put a 2" suspension lift on and 30mm spacers im going to do a 2" body lift too. will i need to do any mods to the body and arches?

Maybe. In fact probably yes. Dead easy on 3 door, you don't need arches if you don't want, just cut your panels. Width will be an issue so you might need extensions for that reason.

I have got 33/12.5/15 tyres and 2" lift on axle spacers and 3" lift in heavy duty springs and mine bent the arches for me.
So yes you will be cutting arches. But go for 2" arches not 3".

Don't cut too much off and be careful around the doors if it's a five door.

Fronts are easy. Measure twice, check again and then cut.

The rears are a little more tricky, just as mentioned before it is easy if it's a three door.

Finished result.
