This suspension lift kit entirely made in Italy raises 10cm compared to the original layout and comes with a specific configuration for each model and engine of Landrover Defender, includes all the accessories useful for the optimal functioning of the suspension even with heavy use.
It is ideal for those who want to raise a completely original vehicle or for those who want to improve an existing structure with components of high quality, improving comfort in daily use and mobility in off road use, without sacrificing stability and safety in the use on the street.
The set up is available with specific calibration for standard or reinforced vehicles for particularly heavy vehicles, if a winch or heavy duty bumper with a weight of over 50kg is installed, springs with a suitable load will be provided, in the drop-down menus located in high you can make the custom configuration of the trim by specifying all the features of your off-road vehicle.
Supports both front and rear shock absorbers are fully adjustable, are supplied pre-assembled with a standard height ideal for multi-purpose use but the shock absorbers and spring cones included in the kit allow you to adjust the attitude independently so as to vary the maximum range of the suspension based on prevalent use.
The brake hoses are made entirely of an aeronautical braided PTFE tube covered in stainless steel braid with a clear anti abrasion polyurethane protection specific for off road and not in PVC, as on car braided tubes.
The fittings are made of steel and not AVP, as for economic items, assembly takes place in accordance with SAE J 1401
The shock absorbers included in the kit have a body of 60mm and 20mm stem, they are bitubo type with internal return stop on rubber resistant up to 5000kg, can be reviewed and recalibrated according to your needs.
The springs included in the kit are of progressive type with variable pitch, a spring with variable pitch during compression progressively hardens thus obtaining an extremely soft, comfortable and able to copy the ground but very stable on the road.
It is possible to choose the calibration of the springs:
- standard, very similar to the original trim, excellent off-road performance and perfect road stability, ideal for multi-purpose use of the vehicle;
- reinforced, to be chosen only if the vehicle has permanent loads at the rear of at least 250kg, ideal for fire-fighting vehicles, mobile workshops, or similar.
Do not hesitate to contact us for advice on the choice of calibration.
All the articles are manufactured in Italy directly by HM4X4 in a single production plant with the maximum control on the production phases, the specialized accessories such as springs and shock absorbers are built by Italian TÜV certified parter companies according to the UNI / ISO 9001 standard.
The photos are being updated, the new production shock absorbers are supplied galvanized.

The lift kit consists of the following accessories:
- 4 Progressive springs with variable pitch +10cm;
- 4 Reversible and adjustable shock absorbers with 60mm body and 20mm stem;
- 4 Specific Guidance Cones for each Defender model;
- 1 Pair of front turrets adjustable from -100mm to +50mm;
- 1 pair of adjustable rear shock absorber supports -50mm to +20mm;
- 1 adjustable panhard bar with polyurethane bushings;
- 1 Caster correction kit specific for each Defender model;
- 1 aeronautical braided brake hose kit specific for each Defender model.
The springs are made of high quality steel, are longer than the original ones, reinforced and with progressive effect, the progressive springs unlike the traditional ones have the variable pitch, ie the distance between the coils is not constant but varies along the its length, the stiffness of a spring equal to the material and diameter of the wire is given precisely by the number of turns and their pitch.
A progressive spring allows to insert more coils with respect to a traditional spring, resulting much softer, the coils with variable pitch during compression harden the spring progressively obtaining an extremely soft, comfortable and able to copy the ground but very stable on the road.
The main advantages in off-road of a progressive spring:
- greater ability to copy the terrain;
- greater excursion at equal length compared to a traditional spring;
- very stable in the lateral passages because crushing it stiffens;
- most absorption of sudden obstacles, as stiffens progressively brakes a possible obstacle (boulders, roots, etc.) without getting to buffer.
The main advantages on the road of a progressive spring:
- very stable on fast sections;
- very more comfortable than a traditional spring thanks to the high number of turns;
- it reduces the rolling in the corners to a minimum because crushing progressively stiffens.
