Like I said before I'll go probably fit a Detroit locker only if the original breaks

Good plan. Get value for what you have paid for! :)

Detroit are old news, although I like mine. Look at Ashcroft, they are supposed to be very good. ARB are nice for the selectability, IIRC, Paul has them.
 
I voted two inch lift, purely because I don't think 1" is enough of a lift for what I'd like.
In terms of options, you could add 4" lift.
Unless you are mud bogging USA style, you don't need to lift any Land Rover to go off road, bar maybe a Freelander..

A 4" lift is just insane and more than likely for people who have no clue at all.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but agriculture use you can drive 1.5 miles on road on red
Out of the question but how do I tell if my discovery 2 is 100kw or 102kw
/136hp or 129hp

Not unless it is registered as an agricultural vehicle. And you need an appropriate licence for the vehicle.
And you can never run it any further on the road, as it will have traces of red diesel in the tank.
It might be a 7 mile radius of the farm, but much easier to run a landrover on white, unless it is an old scrapper that will never go go on the road again.

Forget that then

Yes. Keep red diesel away from vehicles, unless they are tractors or plant. Or unless you never want to use them on the road again. Or have a brush with HMRC, who are not fun to deal with if you have red in your tank.

Dont ask me how I know! :eek: :D
 
Id say if you were thinking of lockers or lsd's, forget doing ANYTHING to the suspension.

Lockers or uprated diffs will out perform stock axles (stock diffs) over any amount of suspension lift etc.

I once fitted a teriffirma 2" lift to a 90 and the handling on the road was shocking. I took it off after a week and fitted standard new spings all round, kept the plus 2" shocks.

Save the pennies and buy as aggressive tread pattern tyres on standardish size rims. Sounds best for what you want. If you need anything more, lockers or lsd.

Any benefits of the longer shocks?

Yes.

They allow for longer downward travel, and whilst I know it isn't weighted travel, ie the springs isn't pushing it down, it still allows better articulation than a standard set up.

I have relocation cones in the rear, and spring retainers up front, I only greenlane, so don't need anything extreme, although when money allows I will fit some Ashcroft atb's front and rear as these will help towing a trailer on grass etc and help out laning
 
To fit larger tyres to get more axel clearance

You can go fairly tall without any lift, or even taller with 2" lift. It will only give you a few inches more under the axles. It is usually easier to just drive around big obstacles right under the track of the vehicle, or ride one wheel over the obstacle itself.

Here is my Ninety with my Fedimas on, no lift, no body cuts, all you need to do is adjust the lock stops, to stop the tyre hitting the radius arms.

My 110 is higher already
Are 90 sills longer than hi cap ones ?
