Well here is plan "B" it puts a bit of fizz in the trousers




The tires will be replaced with 35x12.50r15 General Grabber X3 I think.

I loaded down the back with 4 265/75r16 treadwrights on 5 spoke RRC wheels and a bunch of junk. I may be crazy but I think the Land Rover genuine HD Springs will be all the lift I need with a slight trim of the flares.

oh and the tires weren’t bulging from the weight in the truck. It only had about 6 psi in it.

Nice looking tire!
as soon as my 8” wide deep dish wheels are done with paint, I have a set of 315/75 r16’s to install on them. I’ll take some photos when I have them on my Marine blue 90.

That was the original plan bit sometimes things just work out in odd ways. These were nearby and priced right.

Wish I wasn't heading to Texas for duty for the next month I was finally building some momentum.

I’ll let you know as soon as I have it all together. I’m currently running the OME HD lift in anticipation of eventually having a hard shell rooftop tent on top of all of the other heavy gadgets . I saw your post on DSouce and didn’t reply because the wheels are still being painted so I don’t know for sure.

Accordign to Doug Crowther, he is not experiencing any interference with 315’s and a medium duty 2” lift with a 0 offset 8” wheel. I’m running the 16x8 “anr1534” style wheel that also has a zero offset so if everything comes together, i’lll have a definitive answer for you by the 14th. Only thing is, I’m doing this with a 90, for some reason I though that 110’s had a slightly different amount of clearance from 90’s....

From what I have seen on the back it really looks like I won’t need lift if I don’t mind a minor trim on the factory flares or want to switch to the wider flares.

The swampers are 1” smaller but give a good perspective. Think I may have picked up a pair of old school RTE progressive rates for the front for now reason. I really only want to lift as much as needed but as little as I can. That way I can maintain some drive ability

I can’t believe you managed to score a 2 part 2nd row door, 2 tone County ! They’re as rare as hens teeth now. So nice...

I have had it for 7 years, pretty sure when I bought it she was the cheapest legal row 110 in the land. She needs work that is for sure but she has solid bones. I'll get her there. I'm hoping to retain the LT95 but if repairs to it are impossible it will likely be replaced by zf and lt230 combo.

Those doors are the bane of my existence. Impossible to find interior panels for and need a complete reseal. If I don't come up with a good solution they will likely get replaced with later model one piece push button doors

Work will be stalled for the next 5-6 weeks as I am off to Fort Sam Houston for training.

Parts budget is blown lol.

Captain Obvious up there located what appears to be a rockware rear bumper with swing away so I bought that and ducked out the door before SWMBO found out.
