Thank you, Frank.

Most of what I said may have been wrong because I just found this photo of a Disco with an alleged 3 inch lift and alleged 35s. Notwithstanding it's submissive pose it is a boss Rover. It may have 35s because those are 18 inch wheels, aren't they?



2000 bucks plus tires and driveshafts... Heres a good list of the things you need to do it right (4 inches). RTE is the real deal. Check it out.

Now that's a package I'd sit in the front window waiting for.

If that is a 3" lift I want to know who makes it.

35s will wreck your stock diffs over time. You'd want to upgrade to some limited slips with 4.11 gears and you may need HD axles if you start to break your stockers, but they may be fine if you don't drive too hard.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm planning too. 35s on 3.5" lift. I plan on 1.5" wheel spacers, generous trimming, gears, lockers, axles. The 4.11 gears return you to the same final gear ratio as stock gears on 32" tires, so you'll still be a little slow but not horribly so.

The ad said Rovertym.

It is definitely not a 3 inch Terrafirma lift because mine wasn't anywhere near that tall.

So 4... Makes more sense.

Yeah, 4" is more likely. I have the RTE 3" and mine is nowhere near that height.
