[Anyone tried 235/70x16 tyres on a Freelander?]

I have been given a contact at mailorder4x4.com

Apparentley they are one of Bearmach's biggest customers. Quoted me £149 + Vat for the lift kit with 48Hr delivery at £15. I am getting Camber pins as well as they have recommended. My mechanic is going to do the work for me in the next three weeks or so. Staying with standard 215 65x16's for the mo but will eventually get two sets of 225 75x16's. One set of MT's for off and one road set for everyday use.

I downloaded some instructions for fitting the lift kit through DAP muddy oval links, so my mechanic knew exactly what he's let himself in for.

It states in these that the inner wing holes for the track rods need to be deepened.

The DAP lift kit is exactly the same one that Bearmach sell in the UK. It's a 2" lift and costs abouit £200.

Alternatively, it's fairly easy to make one up yourself. The bits and pieces to do it yourself cost about £20

Thanks I will look at the Beermach one as I believe there are import duties on the DAP, possibly making it the more expensive option. Also you can't order on-line. I'll bet the delivery times are longer from DAP, coming from the states. Haven't got the tech know how to make me own. I tend to use a mechanic to do the mucky work.

I heard that you will need a lift kit to stop any rubbing. There are two ways of doing this. 1> Uprate the springs which will give 1.5" extra. 2> Fit a lift kit as supplied by DAP (US BASED) which will give 2" extra.

Of course the wheels will need re-alinging afterwards.

I am trying to source a UK based company for the lift kit as I am keen to try it.

[Freelander Lift Kit]

I have seen a 2" lift kit advertised on the D.A.P. website. These guys are based in the States. Does anyone know where I might get one of these in the UK?
