Mark Monkey Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Before I go and buy anything, brand new or otherwise, I'm looking for the following: 1. QT Diff Guards - Front and Back for Defender 90 2. 2" Lift Kit (Springs, Shocks, Dislocation Front & Rear, Brake Hoses, Bumper Stops) Paddocks have (2) at £358 but seems expensive? Also looking for 3. Good Halogen Lamps for Front Bumper. All help and advice appreciated Mark __________________ Rgds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 your title says 2" lift advice and the post reads for items wanted, so not sure if this is what you want but: 1. QT guards - go for a walk around any challenge site post event there will ones lying on the ground, they fall off for a past time in my experience. 2. £358 - expensive? all relative i suppose, my shocks were about that price alone. i think its the saying of you get what you pay for and it depends what and how often you are going to use the truck to justify the cost. 3. Have you tried X-Lites from Simon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have a Front QT Diff Guard you can have for nowt it needs to be straightend a bit collect or postage at your cost. Me too! And a nackered diff pan in the bargain :( If you want your lift kit to ride nicely then be wary of paddocks kits as the springs achieve the lift by having very stiff springs. Give Gwyn Lewis a call or Devon 4x4 and talk through your budget and requirements. X-Eng lites are luverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeback Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If the QT diff gards are not up to the job, what are the best to go for because I need to get 2 for my 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landypc Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Speak with someone like Devon 4x4 first. I have been talking with Chris there and he advises about problems encountered with the front propshaft once you start to lift!!! landypc Before I go and buy anything, brand new or otherwise, I'm looking for the following: 1.

Aragorn Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You should also consider why you need to lift it in the first place. Theres many competative trucks on here that are running without much lift at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
