Anyone tried one of these, what has experience been?? Thanks!!' oh here is the link, not much info but.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33647&item=1875590063 :D   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Posted on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 09:40 am:    Well you can get what is probablly a better lift for cheaper from John @ rovertym (www.rovertym.com). I don't have any experience w/ it but I know Blake Luse (muddyrover) is running it and I believe a few others around here might have it on as well.   jay caragay (Jcaragay) Posted on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 09:45 am:    Corey- Never having installed a body lift kit myself, my statements here might be a bit inaccurate. From what I have seen, a body lift achieves greater clearance if you're interested in fitting larger tires or getting the lifted look without some of the possible problems associated with a suspension lift (driveline geometry problems being one of the biggest). The ebay posting made no mention of the product's manufacturer and that should be a top concern. Rovers have enough problems without fitting questionable parts that may compound the problem (such as the MAR Freelander). But $279 is pretty darn expensive for a 2" Body Lift from an unknown manufacturer. If you're really interested in a body lift, I suggest you visit www.rovertym.com. John Bradley Smith has been manufacturing a body lift for a little while now and his products are always of superior quality and excellent customer service - not to mention that his 2" body lift is $215. Good Luck and let us know if you do install one.   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:26 am:    I think that the guy on ebay is just selling a body lift that he bought from John since he copied John's website write up.. Either way, I would call up John at Rovertym and order it from him. Cheaper and you know who made it.
