I fully understand the point that fitting larger tires will give you better ground clearance, but if you plan on 'pushing things' you are going to have more problems. Its like taking one step forward and two steps backwards. I imagine the suspension travel will be very poor as it is likely already close to being topped out at this height.
Well, we'll have to wait and see exactly what was done. If they simply maxed out the stock components with something like a huge rod lift then you would be right. But from what the OP is telling us, and I'm willing to take him at his word until I have a reason not to, it sounds like quite a bit more was done.
Again, we can only wait to see exactly how it was done.
Nothing is even close to being topped out. I promise I'll post some better pictures and details soon. The individual who made this lift is well known for his H1 lifts. I want to get his OK before posting any details.
If this ends up being as robust and well engineered as it sounds, it would be a huge step forward for modifying new rovers. We all know how difficult it has been trying to deal with anything more than the maximum airbag limits and 33" tires on the lr3/4 and previous full size / sport range rovers. is it possible the new models Came from the factory in such a form that they are easier to lift and fit 35+ tires? Will this modification the OP is doing result in any more off road capability, or will it end up being essentially a very expensive "body" style lift? Very excited to learn more and see what this is all about . Either way, very happy to see people working on the new model rovers.
The whole purpose of this modification is to increase off-road performance. I push my trucks about as far as I can for my skill level. Can't wait to test this out when it's done.
These are some pictures of my G and Sport. Both have a small lift (there's not much available) with slightly larger than stock tires.
Which shot? The suspension pics above are his G I think.
Though I like the way you're thinking. It might be possible to design some sort of drop brackets to lower the pick-up points on an IF/RS Rover. Of course that would require longer half shafts too as well as any number of other things I'm sure. But it's an idea.

$10k worth of sub frame spacers?
That bottom skid plate is being replaced. It's just a prototype and is much larger then it needs to be.
Tires aren't included in the price. I'll ask if I can post details tomorrow. Hate to keep you all hangin.
Hope to find time to head to Moab after the Holiday's and see what this rig will do.
