Dosent look like that great an idea. All it does is trick the computer into thinking its normal.
With there 2.5" lift you would loose 2.5" of down travel.

Well thats crap..no point in that

good on you though for having a go! One day if I have enough money I might upgrade from my D1 but not until all these sorts of things are fully sorted. Maybe a better way is to drop the mounts for the suspension effectively giving the same lift but full use of it. LRA were looking at something like this for the D2 from memory.

I don't know about these. But I know that on the P38 you need a lengthened linkage on the height sensors when you do much lift. The reason is that the height sensor "tops out" when you go too high.

So, you lengthen the linkage and then you get into the software and reset the various heights as you wish. I guess in effect what you are losing is some resolution since you are using the same amount of sensor sweep to cover a larger range of real height.

Depending on how these ones work they could be helpful, dunno.

A post on AULRO is pointing to the fact hat it messes up all the wheel alignment, reduces on road performance and basically make it handle like crap. If I had a 50k plus vehicle I'd be doing a lot of research into it first. But alas outers is the poor mans wheelers board, especially for rovers

I'm sure that the problems listed above are easily fixable. It'll be not a lot different to lifting anything else with airbags. Give it longer bags or spacers, longer shocks, wheel alignment etc and it'll probably work ok.

there are many people doing this.

also you can buy a electronic set up to do this was around 1500euro,

there is an Ausie guy developing a in cab adjustable set up to.

so far every one using is having great success with shortning the rods.

Do you have any info on this?

Just came across it so thought i would post it up!!!

I could see its use for cars doing outback touring enabling bigger tyre fitment etc

BTW i have NOTHING to do with it
