Fitment & advisory notes

Geometry: Four-wheel alignment is required after installation. Caster correction may be beneficial on some 110/130 builds.

Steering & driveline: Check panhard, radius arm bushes and propshaft angles; correct as necessary.
Tyre guidance: +50 mm lifts commonly accommodate up to ~33" with appropriate wheel offset and minor trims.
Loads: Choose spring rate for accessories (winch/bumper, racks, canopy, drawers) and constant payload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Defender models are supported?

Defender 90/110/130 coil-spring variants with model-specific kits listed above.

Foamcell vs Nitrogas — what’s the difference?

Foamcell offers heat control for sustained corrugations/loads; Nitrogas gives a taut, road-friendly ride.

Do I need extended brake hoses?

Usually not at +45–50 mm, but always check full droop and flex for line tension.

Will a lift affect towing?

Correctly matched springs/shocks improve stability; load-rated rears are recommended for regular towing.

What tyre sizes fit with +50 mm?

Often up to ~33" with the right offset; larger sizes may need trimming/steering lock adjustments.

Is UK legality/MOT an issue?

Heights in this range are typically fine when geometry and lighting/headlamp aim are within spec.
