3" lift necessary changes
What would need to be adjusted or replaced on a '97 Discovery that has been lifted 3". Please be as specific as possible and don't be afraid to be **** about the details (like brake lines or bushings). I want to know what is going to be involved before I jump in.

RE: 3" lift necessary changes
clearance for bigger rubber is a major reason and I don't want to be trimming the fenders. Also, I figure if I am going to lift it I might as well make it worthwhile. I have read some discussion about driveshaft replacements etc but want to know everything involved. mainly I see the three inch lift as the first step to creating a moderately modified discovery: not too extreme but more capable than stock

You may need to change to longer front/rear drive shafts. Someone else can chime in. I have a DII so I'm not sure.
3" lifts for Discovery's is A lot of lift. Most people get by with 2" lifts because they are a lot cheaper and you do not need to change as many suspension parts for it to work.
How big of tires do you plan of running?

RE: 3" lift necessary changes
mrcrptguy,
really? I had heard from a few people with 3 inch suspension and no body lift that they needed to get new stuff... Does it look like anything else is getting too close for comfort? I want to go with a similar lift, but I'm worried about flexing out a wheel too far and breaking something or some crap like that.
