More and more I'm convinced that when I do my "running gear" this winter, I should just trailer mine up to Denver for the job. Great Defender and looks great! Do you have a side on pic? Also, what wheels/tires? I think I know, but don't want to show my ignorance (if wrong) or offend. Send videos later of crawling!

I just ordered that 4” sub frame lift from New defender mods.
how is the ride compared to stock?
how is the performance with the bigger tires (power wise)?
what are your overall thoughts with lift?
I’m on the east coast I haven’t seen a lifted defender around here other then with rods.
did dealer give you an estimate time frame on how many hours it took for install?
I think I read somewhere between 16-20 hours?
what size tire?
Did you have to tilt the coolers in the front bumper?
one more question was any trimming done to the fenders for the tires?
I was told to run a 35” x 11.5 tire.
Defender looks great 👍
I’m still waiting on delivery it’s built truck due in end of December fingers crossed.

Nice! Ride is excellent. I've never driven a stock defender so I can't say. I went to Denver to test drive Steve's w 4" lift before I ordered mine. My main concern was power. No issues, plenty of power. Initially was considering v8. After test drive had no concern going p400. Not sure on lift install time. Ask LR Denver. I believe they did move coolers and they deleted second muffler. Yes, trimming up front. Tires are 35x12.50 18r.
On the one I test drove it had 2" sub frame plus rods. They have since switched to 4" subframe and no rods for better ride. Overall very happy with lift, ride and power. Everything I hoped it would be.
