How far will a Range Rover lean before it decides to tip over. I have a small ravine on the way home and it seems to be in the 30 - 45 degree range. I need to measure with the framing square and level! Doesn't look so bad when you look up-hill but is exciting looking down! LOL. Great way to get a rise out of my passenger du jour! My kids love it and we refer to it as "the shortcut".

There's a huge difference between 30 and 45 degrees when you're in the drivers seat! Be careful it's not a "shortcut" to ER, kids don't love that quite so much.

I run a pretty stiffly sprung set up, and I have seen 45 plus on many an occasion. I will say though that you are a fool if your children are in the vehicle in that range on a side slope. Period.

I have had mine to 40 degrees unassisted with 35"s and approximately a 5" lift. I had it to nearly 55-60 degrees last weekend with only the Rovertym front bumper keeping me from going over.

Good Times!

Larry
