it must ride like sh*t, no?. measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well on all 4 corners, then measure from the top of the current tyre to the top of the wheel well on all 4. my guess is if they truly are stock and are sagging you're not going to get anything over 31" if you plan on going off road.

It measures just under 31 inches from the ground to the center of the wheel arch.
Actually with 100k it rides better than a lot of RRC that were converted to springs that I have driven. But I sure most of them were probably converted using some type of off-road spring. I will have to admit a rear sway bar would have been nice.
I have the stock continental 205 80 16 on there now, just looking for options for snow tires.
I believe the 205 80 16 was a Land Rover spec tire, so there aren’t many options in that size.

Early models did not have a rear sway bar, I believe they were added then are 92-93.
I think that was the same time the eliminated that third rear shock that was used on to self level non-air ride cars.
i will look at 235 70 16 thats a much more normal size, I have alway had good luck with Coopers they alway seem to were quite well.
Thanks

I read somewhere that it was offer as a bolt-on from Land Rover for the ealier model.
let me tell you its big difference going from the Disco with ACE to the RRC, some days i might drive both and that first set of twisties is always a surprise you dont know if it going to track like its on rails or try to swing all over the place.
i should probably have Paul pull one for me from one of his parts cars
