Italy 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Santorini Black

I never found any lifting kit for Freelander 2, so the price of the springs you're referring could be so high for this reason... and for this reason I'm interested to such spacers even if they are expensive.

However, in general, for the DEFENDER for which the offer is larger:

a complete set of suspension spacers to have it lifted 2" is around 100 euro
a complete set of springs to have it lifted 2" is around 150/200 euro
a complete set of suspension to have it lifted 2" is around 250/350 euro

These are the correct market prices for such equipment IMHO... OK there are some differences between the equipment which fit Defender and Freel but can anyone justify such unreasonable price for 4 little spacers? I cannot but this is the only solution I found so far... does anyone know if Defender or Discovery springs fit our Free2? Shocked Shocked

True defender parts are much cheaper and better choice, but there are a lot more off them .
Most people with a freelander 2 thinks it's to much money to dent up .
But I won't to get muddy and am surprised at how good it is off road
Ground clearance and tyres are the only thing that holds me up
A great car, car surprised a lot off folks what I can do with it 😀😀

You would be amazed at the difference 245/70/17 AT tyres make. Spending $$$ to lift the suspension hasn't worked long term for others because to have something decent off road you need around 300mm at least under the centre of the car between the doors to get over humps and bumps and you won't ever get that in an FL2 without chewing the CV's out. I've seen them do some very tough tracks with the 245/70/17 tyres on and without any extra armour underneath. There are things the car can't do. I have thought everything that you have thought as the only thing that ever pulls mine up is ground clearance. It's a fatal flaw and that is why I have a Jeep as well.

Presently I don't have the dimensions of the above linked spacers in terms of diameters (internal/external) and distance between bolts' holes...

A friend of mine, importing this picture in autocad and having only one the above listed dimensions, could deduce all the other dimensions and proceed with the fabrication (I think in aluminum).

If someone knows the distance between bolts' holes, which is most critical dimension, this info could be very useful!

I have lifts like this with 35mm front, 38 mm rear and 255/65 R18 Pireli Scorpion ATR tires about 2 years (40.000 Km) and no problems at all. Except for the comsumption that increased 1 to 2l/100km.

My brother has on his 2007 Freelander2 without lifs, 265/65 R17 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S, working fine. But should install the lifts soon.
