I have got some ideas in my head that need air.
Primary limiting on range rover suspension travel is shock length.
Secondary is front radius arm bushes, and rear balljoint.
Throw in some U beaut slotted bushes and a rear spacer.
On the shock length it seems the usuall fix is to extend the front towers and lift the rear mounting brackets.
How about moving the shock mounting points closer towards the pivot point(a la Nissan)
they would work harder, but there are alot of vehicles outhere that are heavier and you could possiblly get a off the shelf shock with good travel for a reasonable price.
All input appreciated.

I reckon they are the other way round, IIRC the rangies with standard setups start binding up the bushes before the shock maxes out.

Did on mine till I got some of strange rovers's bushes
