elty has just done a 3" lift using milners springs and home made shock extenders. alternatavly they do a shock and spring 3" package for 200 notes.
I think the only other thing he did was extend the diff breather:nenau

susp lift nothing needs extending, you can go 3" at the back end but only 2 at the front, you will need longer shocks aswell or just be a waste of time, body lift i have done 2.6" and not had to extend anything, i'd imagine you could get to 3" before having to start extending things, for 33's you are going to have to take off the mud guards and talk to the front inner arch seam with mr big hammer, or mr grinder can have words then plate it back up.

Welcome bud! (That was me that suggested the cv's could be an issue)

Like I said, lots of Terrano owners on here, they'll sort you out :thumb2

The Calmini kit is expensive at £600 It's all there but excessive for what is really needed.
As said the Milner kit is good value and I think isn't actually 3" on the LWB more like 2.5 :thumbs which is good.
That's just the suspension lift mind. If you want proper body clearance on 33s you'll be needing a body lift of say 2" also.
Good luck:thumbs
