Lift rods?? Need advice

Jimmy Brooks said:

I know that it doesn’t help tire clearance, but with the new tires I’m thinking that it will not only look mean with a lift but also would improve it significantly off-road, I’m just nervous about wear it does.

keep In mind that those hight sensors are in a plastic housing, the arm that activates the sensor is also plastic.
I have seen 2 other Land Rovers that after installing the Johnson rods and rhino rods (both metal) have put more stress on the sensor.
eventually breaking it... best of luck

I run rhino rods, pretty sure they're plastic. At least mine seem like it

I wouldn't run those. Sidewall is weaker than factory tires.

when you say weaker then do you mean they are likely to blow on city streets when hitting a *** hole as well as off road.

Off road.

Why not get the gap diagnostic tool and just raise your suspension up when off roading or just for a meaner look, and if you don’t like it you could just lower it the 2.5”. Also you’ll have an invaluable tool for other uses for your lr4. All lr3/lr4 owners in my opinion should have this tool. I actually have the rods and gap tool. I’ve been running the lift rods for about 6 years and no problems with truck, suspension, drive train, etc... my rods are made from metal not plastic.i have a 2006 Lr3.
