The thing people do is put rascal springs on the back, then put the rear springs on the front to give about the same lift.
You could get rascal springs for the back, but you would have to raise the front to match.

Hello and welcome.

Closest place to you is probably hill and ditch. Its an old sand quarry and is quite a nice site, but be warned the sand gets EVERYWHERE

... and destroys your brakes, clutch, starter, alternator.

Make sure you wash EVERYTHING when you get back!!!

Wheel bearings fuel tank etc!

I rebuilt my starter 3 times that day. Never going there again. Stay out of the water and you should be ok. I still find sand in the sj now, 2 years on

Hi

There is a pay and play site near Chester... Contact.. motor-safari.co.uk 01978 754533.
Site description.. Woodland, mud runs and quarry area.
I've not been there so have no idea what it's like.

Yeah the only things I've broken at other off road sites are the wingmirror and the end of the throttle cable!!!
