    Lifted LR3 ride/handling questions

    jwest I find it interesting that you cant seem to agree with anyone unless they subscribe to your position. Calling people stupid and posers for wanting to lift their vehicles really shows how out of touch you are with the off road community and how well these vehicles work lifted. Some...

    Lifted LR3 ride/handling questions

    Roverman I keep getting that question, so I think its time to add that lift option which can work well for those wanting a smaller lift and also play well with the IID tool. Some feedback on 1 inch vs 1.5 would be helpful. Will 1 inch give enough room for those 31.5 tires?

    Lifted LR3 ride/handling questions

    In the end it really comes down to what you want to do with the vehicle. For most Johnson Rod users they want the 2.5 inch lift full time. Typically, they want to get away from the "soccer mom" look of the stock LR3 and want to have something that looks a little more aggressive with the lift...

    Lifted LR3 ride/handling questions

    jwest The fact that lifting your vehicle raises the center of gravity is obvious to everyone. You frequently see trucks and jeeps raised 4", 6" and even 8" inches. Lifting your LR3 2.5 inches is certainly reasonable compared to what is out there. To suggest its reckless or that the handling...

    LR4 largest Tire size with lift on 18" Compomotives

    In my opinion going over 32 inches only invites more problems. I always recommend not exceeding 32 inches. The Johnson Rod lift has been the most reliable lift for the last six years. When Land Rover dealers lift their vehicles for sale they don't use an IID tool. They use the Johnson Rod...

    Lifted LR3 ride/handling questions

    Wyrover: I get this question all the time. I can tell you that many users have commented on how much they like the ride and performance with the 2.5" lift. Some even prefer it over the stock mode. Recent forum comments from Johnson Rod users: "Have been driving like this for almost a year...

    LR4 largest Tire size with lift on 18" Compomotives

    The 265-65-18 (31.5") is right at the point where you should consider having the lift. That size has been a popular choice and generally its done with the lift because it looks and functions better with the additional space. Here is an example on a full size Range Rover with a Johnson Rod...

    18 inch wheels for off road

    I know 18 inch wheels are in high demand and hard to find. With 18's you have more tire selection and sidewall for off road use. There are few choices, and the best wheel out there is the Compomotive PD 1881 from the UK. It's hard to get and I have put together a special arrangement with the...

    Should I trade in my 20inch rims?

    LR4 Tires - Size Chart Not worth trading in the 20's for 19's. I would stick with the 20's unless you are willing to go to 18. In that case I recommend going with the Compomotive wheels. With the 20's the 275-55-20 31.9 will give you a bit more sidewall. You can see other options on my tire...

    Nitto Terra Grappler AT anyone?

    With the small sidewall you need to be careful. No problem with mine. If you are in extreme conditions then the DuraTrac is another good choice.

    Nitto Terra Grappler AT anyone?

    I'm running these on 18's but what makes this such a great tire for the 20's is the kevlar sidewall that provides more protection from pinch flats that I see with TG's on 20's. The AT Adventurer with kevlar has excellent off road and all season capability including snow.

    Nitto Terra Grappler AT anyone?

    Here is another option to consider: Goodyear AT Adventurer with Kevlar. I think this is a much better tire. Highest ranked in its category by Tire Rack. [/IMG] johnsonrods.com

    LR4 Wheels/Tires

    If you are experiencing rub with the larger tires or want to have more clearance and articulation for off road then install a Johnson Rod lift. I would not run 32 inch tires without a lift. Even with street driving you will get rub in the rear well when going over dips if you don't lift the...
