hi guys,
I am new to the forum and i was just wondering if anyone could help me out with some info.I have just purchased a 97 disco 1 and i would like to know your thoughts on a 2" suspension lift and 2"body lift.The reason im asking is and im sure its been asked 100 times,if that 285/75/16 will fit with this lift? thanks matt

 

Yes 285/75/16's will fit with a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift.

 

Possibly with a little trimming also.
What are you going to do regarding the diff's that are quite weak as stock and with 285's you will be needing gears, HD axles and lockers to support a 33" tire when playing hard.

 

DM brings up valid points. Much of it will depend on how hard you wheel, if at all. You won't necessarily need all that stuff, but it wouldn't hurt. The main thing to remember is to take it easy on the skinny pedal, don't spin your tires. A locker and HD axles and/or very good articulation will help you crawl over obstacles slowly instead of cowboying over them at speed and spinning tires.

 

Thanks guys much appricated

 

Whats a "tyre"?

 

It's the European spelling for tire, geez get out some will you.

 

I have a 2" lift with 285's on it. "Camel Cut" and it works well. Only a little rubbing on my Right Front Radius arm at full right steering which I just haven't adjusted yet.

I know the list of parts everyone else gave you is pretty spendy cause I got the same list. But don't overlook some basics like Rotoflex eliminator because your lift will eat those up like candy, and +2 shocks so you get the full benefit of your lift.

I got my shocks from Lucky8.

Also I've been on a couple difficult trails in colorado without lockers and axle upgrades. Might not be the best idea but do-able.

 

I was joking. Were not in Europe. It's a TIRE

 

I know I find it hard to use a sarcastic tone while typing.
