My recollection of the Ineos promotional videos and trips and photos before release is that they included many instances where the factory itself was using 35" tires, for example that big Africa trip they did. My understanding is that 35" tires will not fit without a lift. So I assume during those factory tests that Ineos had taller springs installed? Does anyone have any insight on that?
Are we looking at that as just an easily obtainable road-side repair part? From the looks, it seems that the Teraflex would be subject to the same failures as the stock unit? Or am I missing some reason why its design is better than stock?
There have been reported failures with the stock springs. I think there was at least one person earlier in this thread. I don't know if they had larger tires or not.
From the TeraFlex website:
That’s correct it was my vehicle. No mods bar some extra electrical sockets.
And did the issue end up being c clip? I can’t remember the details
The Ineos Kavango Safari vehicle is running 34” The Ineos guys were very secretive or just plain didn’t know what has been done to suspension or running gear when I asked at the Game Fair UK.
Yes the C clip that failed.
the dirt box overland vid has Kenda 35 x 10.5 on a stock suspension. he says no rubbing.
No spacers on the springs
. Word has it on this forum that you can’t run 35” without some sort of lift as they will rub.Yeaaaaahhhhh - I heard him say that but kinda thought the same as @Logsplitter - and Ronny Dahl did have some rubbing that you could hear when he swapped tires.
Going with modestly larger tires, assuming they don’t rub, would be the most reliable and safest way to gain some lift… all suspension geometry would remain at stock settings and not impacted. Anything up to say 1.5” taller (half this measurement for your actual lift) should not present any issue unless you go excessively wide at the same time. Done right the only penalties you’ll pay will be increased weight at each corner, slight speedometer error, the engine working a bit harder as the rolling circumference is larger which is sort of like having a taller gear ratio and finally a bit less fuel economy. Balanced against what you’ll gain off-road all perfectly acceptable compromises.
a "35" is .5 to .75" more radius, but a 10-10.5 may be 2" narrower than a 12.5 (1" per side measured from the center line), and depending on what is being rubbed and when, your nominal 35 pizza cutter may do slightly better than your fattie 33.5. Thats why it's nice to know actual dimensions vs sidewall labeling. Kenda may not be my goto tire brand, but, if I can get a free 1" lift out of it, I bet it's good enough.
Oi vey - 12.5”???? A 285/75/17 is only 11.2” - I think that’s what Ronny Dahl was using and he got some rubbing. 12.5 would be “a gentleman of prosperous carriage”
This made me curious enough to attempt to measure the angles on my stock drivetrain with nonstock springs (Eibach 2.5 lift). I found it difficult to measure the angles and the numbers were much lower than I would have guessed by just looking at the angles. The numbers I measured below are the most conservative measurements I made (i.e. highest angle I measured) at each joint. For each measurement I attempted to measure both sides of the axle in an attempt to get a flat surface as a guide (i.e. the diff housing).
If my measurements are even close to correct, then we should easily be within the 15 degree allowance of the Teraflex unit. I wonder what the tolerances are for the stock unit?
I'm not sure if someone else who is more agile and perhaps has better tools to measure the angles can double check my measurements?
Here is what I found:

Front driveshaft where it connects to the front diff:
About 7 degrees
[Edit note: This is simply a photo so I would know what measurement I took, it is not me actually doing the measuring. When I had the protractor aligned to take the measurements it required both hands and at that point I had the center of the protractor alighted about even with where those screw heads meet the metal housing. I didn't have a third hand to help take a photo at that point.]

As a side note I saw that the cooling fins on my transmission housing are caked in dried on mud, I guess I need to find a place where I can lift up my Grenadier and power wash the mud off, anyone happen to know such a place in the Phoenix Area? This was a very common service for car washes when I lived in Saudi.
I grabbed a cheap mag base angle finder from Harbor Freight and attached it to the bottom side of the front driveshaft, in the middle. It showed right at -10. Of course it's not calibrated and that may not be the right way to check it, but that's what I did. Also have the 2.5 with stock 17" rims/tires. I'll compare next week after the Teraflex is installed.This made me curious enough to attempt to measure the angles on my stock drivetrain with nonstock springs (Eibach 2.5 lift).
