Lift Kit Anyone?

Tonga Green,
I would be interested in what you find out about those stamped wheels. I've been thinking of getting a set of rims eventually that I can have just for my off-road tires, with full-size spare. The Johnson Rods look like a good option as well.
Thanks.

so i cant find any lr specific steels however i have had a brain wave. what about a set of four spares with new tires put on? would they be too weak for of road use or just like any other steel wheel?

Check out these wheels, steel and come in any offest and size you want, little pricey but their sweet... If I ever decide my 18" 5 spokes don't suit my rig anymore I'm going this route.

We use Jonson Rods and love them.

[normal ride height makes easy work of the obstacle]

I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but does anybody have pictures of their LR3 with the Johnson Rods sitting at the "normal" ride height? (not the off-road ride height)

I bet somebody is going to tell me to just set my rig at the off-road ride height and I'll have my answer :biggrin:

I am curious about something too. The Jonson rods site lists 265/70/R18 Silent Amour tires, but doesnt really mention if access height can be used with them.

Sorry for the poor quality but here is a picture with Johnson Rods and 265/70/r18. You can have it in Access Height. I have to use this mode to enter the parking garage for work. However, with this size tire there is rubbing while in Access Mode and turning at a certain angle in normal mode. I will be switching tire sizes in the future.

Hope this helps you. My LR4 with Johnson Rods at normal ride height. 265/65/18 tires.

I was asking related questions in http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24571 just now... but what do you think of that setup/size?

How is that size at access height? Do you have a spare wheel that fits in that size? Do you have any rubbing at normal height?
