If you pull the 13mm bolt on the frame that holds the brake line bracket to the back side of the rear spring pocket you dont have to disturb the rear brake caliper. If you are not on a lift, but are using a floor jack, its best to work on one corner at a time. Use the jack under the radius arm to lift the vehicle nice and high, then place a jack stand under the frame, remove the wheel and lower the jack back down.
just made a pretty good size order from you guys! Been good to me so far, and I figure it was time to remove the cheap hockey puck 2" lift the previous owner installed, and toss this 3" lift on. Hoping it is in stock!!
This looks great. My only concern is brake lines, drive shaft angles, tires rubbing inside of wheel well, and steering components being over extended. Were these things addressed in the lift? What would you recommend to resolve each thing?
blazetango yes but it take you longer time and effort plus therusted bolts, braker bar couple steel pipes and lots off pb blaster when i start a work like that i soak with pb blaster all bolts nuts,and conector the night before start working so next day will be easier to work on them,also recently bought a 2002 discovery sll 98kmilles,oil leaks valve cover, abs,dowhill assistance, need tires,couple dings thinking on do a 3 inch lift kit or at least 2
This is not a 3'' kit. Springs are 2'' and only the shocks are 3'', practicaly the lift is only 2". On HD springs without load on the car like bullbar or roofrack it can be achieved the 3" lift, so.....
so , if I have the air suspension, does this 3'' kit fully replace the air suspension with the springs? also is there anything else I would need besides the kit if I had the air suspension still? thanks for the help, and great vid!
You said it's 3" lift kit, but the shocks don't seem to be 3' because it was written "all terrain" on them (meaning standard or +2') and the ones with 3' are"pro sport". Correct me if I'm wrong.
We have been getting emails about the 3in kit used in the video. This kit was made by Terrafirma for Lucky8. You can find the kit on our site at Lucky8llc . com
Bought the kit, I am wondering if I can do these without power tools. I don't have access to a plug and the mechanic is charging me a fortune for this job
I say 2" because you will have less articulation problems and keep you vehicles angles more true to stock. That will keep your center of gravity lower too. Then if you keeping stock tires switch to all terrain bfg ko2s so you can take any trail you want with confidence.
You would have been better off using the gas kit with 33x12.50 tyres, extended propshafts and new radius & trailing arms.. You've fitted that with no allowance for the propshaft travel. You're garna knack the gearbox.
I don't know how people get past high school without someone telling them the difference btwn caliper and caliber. One is a mechanism and the other is a measurement! It's not that hard people! -nice job otherwise..
