True defender parts are much cheaper and better choice, but there are a lot more off them .

You would be amazed at the difference 245/70/17 AT tyres make. Spending $$$ to lift the suspension hasn't worked long term for others because to have something decent off road you need around 300mm at least under the centre of the car between the doors to get over humps and bumps and you won't ever get that in an FL2 without chewing the CV's out. I've seen them do some very tough tracks with the 245/70/17 tyres on and without any extra armour underneath. There are things the car can't do. I have thought everything that you have thought as the only thing that ever pulls mine up is ground clearance. It's a fatal flaw and that is why I have a Jeep as well. |

(Above) could you not get a fabricator to make up a set for you?

Presently I don't have the dimensions of the above linked spacers in terms of diameters (internal/external) and distance between bolts' holes...

I have lifts like this with 35mm front, 38 mm rear and 255/65 R18 Pireli Scorpion ATR tires about 2 years (40.000 Km) and no problems at all. Except for the comsumption that increased 1 to 2l/100km. |

My brother has on his 2007 Freelander2 without lifs, 265/65 R17 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S, working fine. But should install the lifts soon. |
