85 Range Rover lift

Post by RRover85 »

Hey,
I just brought another 85 Rangie.. the old one had a 2" EFS suspension lift but I didnt like it because it rode to rough on and off the Road..

So in the new rangie I want to change the Brand of suspension to hopefully get something that still rides ok...

Im just after some opinions on combos which work well and where's the best place to get them??? Ive also gotta get a steering dampner n that to.. Thanks! Tim

Bilstien shocks and Rangies Spares springs is a good combo, give them a ring and i'm sure they can help.

Finding the right sping/shock combo is a bit of an art.

I recently gave my Kings/Bilstein combo the flick for something a bit softer. I bought a set of LRA springs 180 front and 220 in the rear, with Koni shocks all round. This works well on and off-road. It's no ramp queen buit does the job well and still more atriculation that standard (run out of travel, that's what maxi-drives are for :armsup: ).

I kept the Bilstein steering dampner, till I kill it on a rock of sorts :twisted:
