Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all, after going for a wheel on sat I'm starting to find that I'm getting hung up on or bashing my suspension mounting points a fair bit. My disco is stock apart from replacement springs (std hight) and I was probably going places I shouldn't have been but when your trying to show you mate that his twin diff-locked, td v8, lifted cruiser ute is not better than your stock 97 v8 disco you tend to do that

Once uni is finished (end of year thankgod) I will be giving it a lift, wheels etc but I want to know if people still have issues getting hung up or bashing these points once lifted etc. Mine are showing some nice dents around them and I'm wondering if when the money comes in I should reinforce them? I have even read of people relocating the mounts but that seems a bit excessive as all I will be doing is a 2" lift.

Any comments?

Cheers

Bigger tyres

cutting the chassis mounts (rear arms) and extending the arm in the same plane so it mounts up in the ceter of th box(vertically) will help and help reduce rear steer...

i remeber Strange Rover saying it helpd with hill climbs as well
when i get another car to replace my d110 as a daily driver i think iwill play with the supension links

Yes its a problem with RRC and Disco 1, as well as bending trailing arms.

I saw sliders on a US site which covered the mounting point with a steel tapered slider welded to the Chassis and to the bottom of the mounting point.
One of mine is a bit second hand.

I was thinking something along these lines would be the simplest fix. I just don't want to hit a ledge at a bit of speed and have the whole mount bend, or break.
