A mate did a transfer from old to new chassis in 5 weeks working weekends and nights pretty much on hid own with the odd pair of hands for big things.

Ok, i think i'm understanding all this now thanks for your patients I should of answered Godlykepower question, the bias of use is 60/40 towards off road and fun as apposed to on road. The X-eng flex suspension system is quite interesting, would this system work well on its own with standard suspension or would i still have to look at shocks, springs, props etc. The full challenge kit by Gywn is also looking very appealing as fairly all in one answer. Thanks

Hi guys, thanks a lot for the input. SteveG my set up at the moment is fairly standard, i'm running Kumho KL71's in 265/75 R16. Protection is being taken care of in another budget, i've already got front diff/steering sorted. I must admit i had over looked the idea of a decent compressor and recovery points. As much as i like a jacked vehicle, i'm a realist and would prefer a setup thats works to the best of its potential than just looking good if there is an advantage to be had by going up to 2's say i would like to look at it as an option, even call it future proofing. It certianly seems the route to be looking at then is a good mixture of the parts that each company offers then, i did like the idea of the X-eng springs. If i went with the N73 ome what length do i look at or is the spring length that dictates the lift and the shock just acts as the travel and sag. I certainly can't afford to look at diff lockers atm, but who knows what the future holds. again thanks to all.

Hi everyone, First of all let me congratulate you all on a wonderful forum, you've certainly kept it clean. Well on to my question. Please excuse the ignorance on some things, we don't have many people over here with really modified 90's so not many people to ask on the subject. I've had my 2001 90 for quite awhile now and done much of road, I've certainly learn what a capable vehicle it is!. However i now feel id like to tackle bigger and better things, certainly getting of this rock to visit bigger off road centers is on the cards. I've read a much as possible on the subject and certainly learnt a lot from posts already on here but still require some help. Although this is my only means of transport i have van for work so it really is just a night and weekend driver, i live in Jersey so as you may know motorway driving doesn't happen very often and i'm happy to sacrifice on road performance for off (to a degree). I've looked a kits/options from the likes of llama 4x4 and Gywn lewis but i think the more i look the more i'm getting confused as to what goes were and what i need with each option. How does the 11" kit work, ie does it give 11"s of lift or lower but then offers 11"s of travel, it seems people highly rate it performance tho. If i went for something like this what else would i require to keep things running sweet. I've got a budget of about £900 give or take an extra couple hundred. So i'm open to suggestions as to which route would be best. Thanks in advance.
