Spacers? You'll need at the least, new shocks, springs and extended brake hoses I would've thought?

thats for a suspension lift. a bodylift just moves the body away from the chassis to give greater tyre clearance.

i looked into the price of wheel spacers a few years ago for the disco i had then. it came out virtually the same price as buying modulars with the offset i wanted, they look better than the stock rims too.

thats the tyre size not the offset. somewhere on the wheel you'll have small numbers stamped. i cant remember what mine where but the number will end in J, so look for something like 33x7J. that would mean a 33mm offset with a 7" wide rim.
i didnt actually get any different rims, i sold the car as i was loosing interest in it. i'd got to the point it was going to cost a fortune to make it better & i wasnt interested enough to bother.

out of interest are you on other forums? i used to go on difflock.com a lot. some people there have a scary amount of knowledge (or at least did a few years ago). im pretty sure someone there used to be able to quote the bolts/nuts/washers/plans for spacers that you'd need.

you can buy body spacers from a few places, mostly the US and Australia. But I have seen them in the UK before now.

Wheel spacers are pricey, don't think there's anyway around that. Have a look on Ebay or the LR forums and see what turns up.
