western Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 putting a lift kit on won't make the hill climbing ability any better, suggest different tyres or some decent off-road driver training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
****inthemud Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 try http://www.gwynlewis4x4.co.uk/ they're the boys who could probably help you out the best alongside http://www.gigglepin4x4.net/ who also distribute their products. most of their package kits provide you with 5" of TRAVEL but for overall lift it would be worth giving them a shout.

Guest noggy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 5inch lift wont help your hill climbing ability... look into more power and better tyres. after this if its really that bad that your boggers/simex (two of the most extreme tyres) just dig holes in the ground, then you need to look into a ground anchor and winch. if thats not really what your wanting to do. BUY A TRACTOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suggs Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 if your really having that much hassle then as above tyres and air lockers are the way forward. that said in the dry with 2nd gear low range with diff lock on should get you up most hills even with an average tyre.. also you wont get 5" of extra lift, what you get is 5" more travel ie droop, most lift kits give 2 or 3 inches of lift depending on what springs you buy. it wont raise the axle hight either and dont forget the diffs etc will still lack clearance if thats whats snagging at the moment, bigger tyres will lift the axle height if thats what you need...
