Default official: Lifted DII thread

Didn't see one exclusively for dII and after alot of search I g here and there to get pkcs so I know what different tires and lifts look like or who did what, who had which roof rack and bumper as well as drivetrain work and why. it was a bit exhausting and made worse by using a tablet.

So if you have lifted it post up pics with tire size, modifications, bumpers, racks, wheel spacers or cut axle stops etc.

ALSO WHATS NEEDED FOR ARTICULATION LIFT/MOD WISE. I see this rover on the Aussie forum flexing out all sorts of ways and it appears to be lifted and not modified ie linked etc. Also info on doing a rear panhard and eliminating the watts link.

My lift will be here Mon/Tue and duratrac 275/60/18 tires are in Tue as well. I'll post when on.

Lift got here took 3 hours by myself to install it and stabalizer that's with pulling passenger side front out completely to flip spring and redo.

Also flipped rear tire bracket, trimmed fender wells and stuck 275/65/18 dyratracs on (all 5)

So, here is mine, 751 OME front springs with 762 rears sitting on D1 coil seats, measuring 36.25"s all the way around on 265/75/16's.
Made my own bumpers, front and rear along with sliders. HID dual 35 watt, 6000K head lights and 3 bumper mounted HID spot lights.
4:11 gears, rear Detroit with H.D. axles and a front T.T. with H.D. front axles.

Here is mine, as I bought him with the kit already installed I am not sure which was used. The sales guy said something about Atlantic British but I am going to have to crawl underneath him with a flash light and see if I can't figure out where the springs came from.

I have Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 265/75/16's to go with the lift.
