Thats suck they shuld make all sizes, and its 15 mm difference ... Which is a little more than a half of an inch.
Guess i have to go worh 265, and i think 265 wuld help when i start adding more weight to the truck. Thanks for the info man

For diameter yes, it's 15mm, but for width(the 265 number) it's 10mm. There's a great write up somewhere about tire width and why narrow tires can be better in situations.

I put the 2" HD OME on mine and I got 2 1/4" of lift from it. No difference with the roof rack, but I just ordered a new front bumper yesterday, so we'll see how it copes with the load once that's on.

I did two measurements. One from the center of the wheel to the wheel arch, and from the ground to the frame, before and after the lift. On both, the net result was 2 1/4 inches. Then I measured again after I installed the roof rack. No change.

That's also not really a fair comparison due to factory variances and spring sagging. What were your measurements pre lift from wheel center to wheel arch?

I'm just saying what I had, that's all. Results will vary. Like you said, you have to take into account the factory variances and how much my springs have sagged. I started with 18 3/4" front and rear. Ended up with 21" and 21".

I'm not blaming or arguing, I just don't want MONEYMIKE to think he'll get that same lift and be disappointed. Sorry, now reading back I did sound kinda douchey saying it like that haha

Moneymike- when you get a chance, measure from the wheel arch to the center of the center cap on the wheel, like in this thread. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...rements-56226/

Nah not douchey, just a little aggressive haha no worries.

Like I said, others' results may vary. I'm just saying what my results were as an example.
