Terrafirma Lift Kit

I am considering fitting a Terrafirma All Terrain Suspension Kit for the Defender 110/130 Medium Load, I am after your thoughts, comments or experience on fitting. Look forward to hearing the good, the bad and the ugly...

I would not touch Terrafirma suspension. The quality is poor, and the life is very short. I've brought, fitted it, binned it, replaced it.

Sorry

Hi Andy,

Old man emu. Not cheap but great kit, very stable and lasts.

Koni is also very very good but dampers only you would still need springs.

Robert, sorry to resurect a thread from so long ago but can you comment on the ride heigth being a light duty kit? - from my understanding the HD kit will always sit slightly higher than a light duty kit or am i wrong?

Hi i don't think there is any difference in the height of the lift but if you dont carry much goods the light lift is ideal. I just used mine like a car and handled great. I fitted police spec range rovers once and they were far too hard considering all the equipment they carry.

thanks pal, that helps. I made the rookie mistake of buying the cheapeest lift kit many years ago which happened to be a HD sh13part lift kit for a 90 and you would end up with a migrain everytime you went off road as it was so hard.

my 130 has a HD kit at the moment and i am considoring putting on soft lift springs and maybe a 1 inch lift block too to give it a 3 inch lift and retain a nice ride still.
