Help with Peugeot 308 SW T9 Off Road Option

[chaomienvan]

Hi Everyone, new to the forum and didn't really find this topic after seeing quite a lot posts in the forum.

I have a Peugeot 308 SW T9 1.6 BlueHDI 2015 model (Allure model). Recent trip to Morocco triggered an idea of driving my own car from UK to Africa. Knowing the awful ground clearance and load capacity, wondering what could be improvement options to make car suitable for Africa / light off-road driving experience.

Things I have considered:
1. Lifted suspension - raise ground clearance but hard to find any suspension supplier?
2. steel wheel 15 inch - replace alloy wheel with steel wheel for a more off-road look.
3. Roof rack - already installed so not a big issue.
4. Towbar - occasional towing requirement. I am going to install towbar by myself with 13 pin bypass relay, anyone got helpful tips or instructions?
5. Speaker - improve music experience along the journey.

What can be added onto list?

welcome any help here!

There is a Peugeot conversion of the Partner van TREK conversion by Dangel, it has a higher ride height & a metal under tray.
The Royal Mail use them in remote areas.
The suspension is raised at the front by basically having spacers put in between the top strut mount.
Wonder if there is something similar for the 308?

Dangel have a long history with Peugeot. They used to do 504s, I think, for outback Australia, and for Africa.
