Shown below is a dealer installed Johnson Rod 1.5 inch lift kit with 275-60-20 BFG KO2 (33 inch) tires.

Many Land Rover dealers use our lift in their showrooms as an upgrade package. Our lift is preferred because of the quality of construction and materials that can stand up to extreme hot and cold conditions without breaking down. We use 3/16 high quality stainless steel which provides strength and durability. Our rubber attachment points are extra thick just like the original Land Rover part which insures a tight non slip connection and which makes them less susceptible to cracking and breaking down under harsh conditions. In fact, the rubber has a high resilience and tensile strength, abrasion resistance and operates effectively in temperatures between -60 degrees F to 180 degrees F.

This looks great. I want to do this but don't want to affect my warranty. How have dealerships handled these mods? I assume it is on a dealer by dealer basis on whether they will do it and then support it from a warranty perspective; is that accurate?

Thx in advance.

 

Many of the dealership will do the install if you ask them for it as part of the sale or for service.
Over the last 10 years we have not seen this to be an issue.
You can always simply swap back to the original rods.

 

This new Defender is set up nicely with our 1.5 inch lift and is running 265-60-20 BFG KO2 tires at 32.5 inches.
The owner chose a slightly smaller diameter tire than 33" to leave more room for articulation. Looks great!
