74 Weld Portal Axle Kit & Wilwood Brake Kit - UK/EU First! With a catch...

[John E Davies]

unfortunately you're already likely to fail an MOT (when the times comes) or get pulled with the stock +55 wheels and portals. so might as well go all out with some 0 offset wheels

Does the UK prohibit raised suspensions? I know that lowered ones cause problems, for example not meeting minimal headlight height. It seems as if the OP would know whether or not his vehicle would pass inspection before he invested in US$25000 of parts.

OP - I would like to hear your reasons for doing this, do you have a winter home in the Sahara Desert?

It’s not necessarily prohibited to raise or lower suspension but they can get funny if it changes the vehicle drastically. In this case I’d say the biggest issue is the tyre poke, even if it passed the mot he might still get stopped by the police or dvla and they could request it to have an Iva inspection. Also insurance could be null and void

First of all, congrats on doing something truly awesome. I won’t be much help here, but there was a truck posted here that looks like it has all the same equipment with the portals and big brakes that had Method 17 rims on it, so it looks like it can be done. Search portals in the thread description and it was a post by Adventure Labs.

Hi - that's my rig and, it is the stock brakes power-coated. I'm running Method 17" x +25 off-set but haven't upgraded the brakes yet.

But, I LOVE the portals! Just waiting on the K-NINE fenders which have been slightly delayed.

How about a crisp high five?

Or a hearty "attaboy!"
