Thanks for all the input for the 255/85’s! Bit the bullet and had some Toyo 255/85/16’s fitted last week!

Yes I agree. Spring isolators give about 12mm of lift, which might be enough without faffing about with springs and Dampers. It’s what I’m thinking of using. 2002 td5 90 county hardtop |

I disagree that it needs a lift, I think 255’s look better without the lift, especially when you look from the front, with a lift they appear that bit too skinny for my liking. I run at approximately 1” lowered for normal driving but it does look interesting when you go even lower

The most purposeful looking defender i have seen. assuming theres no lift to it, do you have uprated suspension at all? the older i get the more i want to drop mine back to standard ride height Click image to enlarge |
