Mine kept doing the same thing. When I went to 11.25" shocks it had to go. Not a big difference. Should be better when I replace my medium TF springs with HD RTE coils.

 

Finally got the rest of the nuts and a wheel stud for my spacers. Installed them and as long as my wheels stuff I like them.

 

just got done with the oil pressure test

31 start up
22 at 2000/ cold
20 to 15 warm idle
19 at 2000 warm
10 idle

are this good numbers or is it time to change out the oil pump gears

 

How wide are they? I stuff the hell out of 265s on 8" wheels with a 4.25" backspacing.

 

30mm spacers with stock alloys. Not sure what the stock offset is.

 

They look like they will be fine

 

Just like the rest of the guys, I'm heading down that same path.....RTE......

 

New break pads & rotors all four corners.
New bearings.
Spark plugs.
Oil/filter change.
Fuel filter change.
Stainless brake lines in front.
Brake flush (as a result of bleeding all four corners).

 

Having the Oil Pump replaced right now, should be done tomorrow. The tech said he would do the mod that calls for not replacing the dowel pins so that it will cure the issue. he already had a pump and sold it to me for $200 so the whole repair is costing me $400 all done by Land Rover of Charlotte. Glad Im a Hendrick Automotive Employee!

 

I bolted up my RTE bumper today, and dammit now I lost 1" of lift on the front axel! LOL!!!! Those stock springs are soft, It's all good, Tomorrow I'm putting on the 2" RTE springs the D2 shock conversion, shocks, brake lines, pads and rotors, I'm sure I won't get it all done. I have all that plus a safari rack, tie rods, rod ends, drag link, Defender steering stablizer conversion, D2 front drive shaft conversion, plugs, and wires to do before Saturdays run.
