Defender 90 Two Inch Lift Kit with Fitting

Two Inch Lift Kit with Fitting for the Defender 90: springs, dampers, extended brake hoses, caster correction and fitting with alignment.

A modest lift gives clearance for larger tyres and better approach and departure angles. Too much lift, or a lift without the matching parts, gives worse handling, worn joints and propshaft vibration. Our kits are the height we would run ourselves, with the parts that height actually needs, and we say plainly what changes on the road. The 90 is the short wheelbase and the one that gets used hardest off road, so the parts on it are the ones we see worn out fastest.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 6 hours, included. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure. Any modification that changes ride height, tyre size, weight or appearance must be declared to your insurer before you drive the vehicle. Raised vehicles need the headlamp aim reset and a four wheel alignment, and the MOT tester will look at both.

Which version to buy

Parts Only is the parts delivered to you or your garage, with our fitting notes. Fitted With Alignment is fitted at our workshop with a four wheel alignment and headlamp aim afterwards, which a raised or modified vehicle needs.
