"winning" formula is:
1. 764 OME front springs, 762 or 763 rear.
2. 2" body lift.
3. Rangie Spares flares.
All the above cost me (in Lebanon) ~1,200 USD.

You will need a 50 mm body lift and 2 inch in the springs and cutting of the front guards and trimming of the rear doors , best to buy the Rangie Spares flares . It would also be an idea to adjust your turning circle as otherwise you will surely come to greif on the radius arms
discourage inbreeding , ban country music ! Rover didn't make computers as they just couldn't find a way for them to leak oil .
As all have mentioned, winning foruular for 35's are 2 inch body and 2 inch spring, plus the Rangie Spares fibreglass flares.
Other areas of upgrade will be your axles and diffs. maxi Drives front and rear will solve most of your problems, as well as upgrading the front CV's to 110 spec (a must for post 88 Rangies). 4.1:1 Crown wheel and pinion are also advised as you will be too doughy on the road with the stock 3.9.
Your standard 10 spline axles will NOT last with the 35's. Unfortunatley, for the driveline to last, you will need to go this way and upgrade. I don't want to spoil your fun, but that's the reality fot the whole thing to last. There are cheaper ways of doing it, but I will leave that to someone who knows a bit more about it than me.
Anyway, good luck with it all.

Does everyone run that heavy a spring on the rear of their rangie?
762 - 300-340 pound
763 - 360 pound
That would make the rear springs a lot heavier than the front which seems odd given the weight and impact loading (from obstacles) on the front. Would force the front to articulate though!

Ah yes - although taking no tools, no recovery gear and no spare parts is the ultimate in off road commitment in that you know you wont break and you wont get stuck. And you will be a lot lighter for believing so.

At 4in you really start to muck up the front end geometry and you have to lots of work to make the rig drive straight and not vibrate. At 2 + 2 its a no brainer.

Sam,
When you were a kid and you went camping were you the type that put EVERYTHING you owned in the bag or just a bottle of water and some sunglasses? I was the latter, and I always had an "shit, I need _____" moments...
Agreed that tools weigh the rigs down, however, lately (trial and error college) been carrying the BARE minimum, AND, been securing them IN FRONT of the rear axle (no rear bench) at the very bottom.
FWIW, 762s are progressive and are great for "moderate" loads.

Yup - the caster and the front drive shaft angles. Basically about the max lift that people successfully run on a rangie would be less than 3in (as far as I understand) There was a thread on this a while ago - found it
http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modules/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5514&highlight=lift
Just had a quick look through - maybe 4in is possible?? and just not common.
Do a search on "lift" and restrict it to the rover section cause there is lots of threads on this.
