Hey guys.
I have been trying to find a way to raise my lr3 g4 around 2". I asked ARB in new zealand. And they said all i need to do is put different springs front and rear. Just checking to see if this is all that needs to be done. Also would anyone have the tech break down on what the springs should be. I can get springs made not far from where i live which would be alot cheaper. ARB will sell theirs to me at $388.00 a pair. I am sure i can get them made for half that price. am picking cv,s etc will run ok with extra 2" of lift.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sure I've seen full car sets of King springs for a 2 inch lift my side of the Tasman going for about $300 (Aussie, not Noo Zillund groats).
Not sure what the shipping would be though.
CVs will be fine though

Awesome another place to check out. Found a place in my home town that will do a set for $500.00 NZ for all four springs. So thats not to bad. But only 30mm to 40mm lift. Just out of interest does anyone know the factory height the car should be off the ground. Interested to see if current springs have dropped. Never got a manual when car came out from Japan so have no idea.

Hi madmax,
I also fitted King Springs to mine (within 12 months of ownership). I have been VERY happy with them. I checked the height gain immediately after fitting and it was 65mm. I haven't checked subsequently, so don't know if they have settled.
Check kingsprings.com.au
The catalogue could be better. Input:
Landrover
Discovery
Ser 111
Fronts are: KRFR13, and
Rears: KRRR14.
They didn't have the HD variants when I bought mine and I don't think they are necessary.
All the best,
Peter
