What do you use the landy for. Work? Off roading? Towing? That kind of thing.

So what would you hope to achieve by fitting a lift kit?

Hopefully lift it so that i run less chance of catching the tow pack on the ground and fit larger tyres

Bigger than 235/85 or 265/75?

you only need springs and shockers for 2 inch lift and maybe double cardon prop on front if becomes noisy

I'm going for hoses,springs,shocks n stops. Its only a weekend play thing, i just get annoyed at bottoming the chassis out,it has a couple of mini dents and dont want any more bigger ones either. I have bigger tyres by about an inch and abit (cant remember what they are now-bf at's anyway). I am doing my lift to do jst that, raise the chassis, not bothed about increasing articulation or increaseing wear as ts just a toy. its 23 years old and 90% original so things are worn or on there way out - and they will just be replaced.
its a project so will finnish it all in time.

Yes lifting it would lift your tow pack up. But then it will make towing awkward. I think you might be best of getting a detatchable tow bar so then you can remove it when going off roading and fit it for towing. This will be a better option than lifting. If land rover thought it would perform best with a 2inch lift then it would have one. At the end of the day its up to you but have a look to see if there are other alternatives available.

but there are plenty with 2 inch lift with no problems each to their own,if you dont like your lift you can allways put it back ,ive seen plenty with lift and still lot of slack in brake hoses , the worse thing you can do is put car seats in,small steering wheel

Don't matter about a lift kit as yer diffs are the lowest point
nowt wrong wi' different seats in yer landy, never had a prob wi' mine and sit just off centre... but sooooo comfy and a wee bit more elbow room
