N newson Active Member Dec 13, 2010 #7 Hi I currently have 2" lift, got 285/75/16's. Not camel cut yet. Was trying to avoid it as my body work is in such good condition. Found a write up (link beneath) which is suggesting its a pig of a job, advice needed http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f38/thinking-lifting-your-landy-read-first-66840-2.html

B bobbler New Member Dec 13, 2010 #8 you are going to need a bit of trimming for those boots. camel cut on the rear arch and front bumper end cap trimming or removal to start and go from there. EDIT: i know your against trimming but if you dont chances are you could end up damaging the panels anyway

N newson Active Member Dec 13, 2010 #9 ok I'll take your advice. The only thing I have against camel cutting the rear is cutting into the rear doors. Is there no other way around it?

B bobbler New Member Dec 13, 2010 #10 camel cut doesnt involve the doors http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f38/discovery-fitting-bigger-wheels-67858.html

N newson Active Member Dec 13, 2010 #11 ah I see just trimming up the panel? So no need for plastic arches?
B bobbler New Member Dec 13, 2010 #12 you may be lucky but that could be the next step depending if it works for you
N newson Active Member Dec 13, 2010 #13 so are you saying the body lift wouldnt work? or is it not recommended?
P paul_c New Member Dec 13, 2010 #14 Never done it myself so not 100% sure but I think you basically have two options; 1. Body lift and a little trimming of the arches 2. Loads of trimming of the arches, but no body lift; and possibly extended bump stops too.
